CNN U.S. and Britain to make Human Genome Project results public
"President Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair have agreed that all discoveries from the Human Genome Project will be made available to the global scientific community in order to assist health research.

The two countries have agreed to a joint statement to be released Tuesday in both the United States and Britain, applauding researchers who have already made their human genome data available and calling on all researchers to follow their lead."
Celera CELERA STATEMENT ON THE POLICY STATEMENT OF PRESIDENT CLINTON AND PRIME MINISTER BLAIR ON THE AVAILABILITY OF GENOMIC INFORMATION
"Celera Genomics welcomes the statement. Its own mission is completely consistent with the goals of assuring that the world’s researchers have access to this important information to enable advances and discoveries that will improve the human condition. Since the announcement of Celera’s formation we have made a clear commitment that upon our completion of the consensus human genome we would publish it in a peer-reviewed scientific journal and make it available to researchers for free."

USA Today Feds may have tried to bend law for gene map Health agency denies any 'conspiracy' to recruit biotech company in race to finish project
"Federal officials and a British charity secretly attempted to enlist biotechnology firm Incyte Pharmaceuticals in a race to complete the Human Genome Project and win a bitter two-year battle against another company, Celera Genomics of Rockville, Md."

"At stake in the contentious battle is scientific glory and potential control over access to information about virtually all human diseases and possible cures. Scientists predict that the first group to complete the human genetic blueprint will win a Nobel Prize and a pedestal in the halls of history."

Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.
