Through the Lens of the Sequence
Clayton, Ellen Wright
:

Abstract
The completion of the rough draft of the human genome
is a scientific feat worthy of celebration. But the
media attention that has been devoted to the Human
Genome Project demonstrates that most people are not
as interested in what the sequence is as in what it
means for individuals and for society, for good or for ill.
My purpose in writing this essay is to discuss how the
project was conducted here in the United States, and
some of the implications of knowing the sequence (or
more aptly, a sequence).
