The Common Thread: A Story of Science, Politics, Ethics and the Human Genome

Gripping race to keep the science of the human genome in the public domain

A superbly told story of Sulston's experience in mapping the human genome, whilst heading the Sanger Centre. The rival group headed by Venter although on the same quest, was attempting to patent everything it found. This is obviously a natural consequence of the huge investment made by various parties in his group. The excitment of scientific discovery and ground breaking work is peppered with the tension of the work being undermined by the politicking of Celera, the Venter company.

Celera's 'shotgun' approach proved less successful in the long run, so they had to continually use the publicly released results of Sulston's team in order to bolster their own findings. Needless to say Venters findings weren't made available to the publicly funded efforts. It does highlight the best and worst of science. Science as a methodology relies on dissemination of knowledge, and honesty. Bringing the exigencies of big business into that mix and problems are inevitable. I since become better acquainted with Venter through other sources, and he's clearly a brilliant, charismatic and driven scientist-who just happens to spearhead the burgeoning industry of biotech. I will be interested to see where his new work on changing one species of bacteria into another leads.
