The following time line, detailing events relating to Genome Technologies' suit against Bento Soares and cDNA sequencing efforts in general, was culled from interviews conducted by The Scientist as well as information contained in court pleadings, statements, and media reports. The Integrated Molecular Analysis of Genome Expression (IMAGE) Consortium forms as an informal, ad hoc collaboration among colleagues to freely share complementary DNA (cDNA) libraries. The consortium is started by Greg
Also, according to Genome's complaint, between January 1994 and the start of the suit in spring of 1995, without Genome's knowledge or consent, Soares, "for the purpose of diverting a corporate opportunity . . . secretly continued negotiations with Columbia University to enter into an agreement with Merck." In Soares's answer, he denies these allegations, with the exception that he did have discussions with Merck during that time with "the knowledge and approval" of Genome.
