The Institute for Genomic Research's partnership with Perkin-Elmer promises to sequence the human genome at less cost and in less time than the federally funded Human Genome Project. Scientists, however, argue that the venture will have problems with quality and access that the Human Genome Project provides. They fear that the private initiative will limit fair and timely access to biologically important components of the human genome.Citation DetailsTitle: Private venture to sequence human genome launched.Publication: Issues in Science and Technology (Refereed)Date: September 22, 1998Publisher: National Academy of SciencesVolume: 15 Issue: 1 Page: 28(2)Distributed by Thomson Gale
