The Human Genome Project: Lessons from Large-Scale Biology
Abstract
The Human Genome Project has been the first major foray of the biological and medical research communities into ``big science.'' In this Viewpoint, we present some of our experiences in organizing and managing such a complicated, publicly funded, international effort. We believe that many of the lessons we learned will be applicable to future large-scale projects in biology.
