The Celera paper: sequencing by random shotgun cloning
In the February 16 Science, Venter et al. announce the sequencing of the euchromatic portion of the human genome by a whole-genome shotgun sequencing approach (Science 2001, 291:1304-1350). The sequencing achievement was accomplished by Celera Genomics in nine months in a factory-scale project involving 300 automatic squencing machines (ABI PRISM 3700) producing 175,000 sequence-reads per day. The company generated 14.8 gigabases (Gb) of DNA sequence and combined data with the public GenBank) da
