...tales circulate like computer viruses. Most often cited is Boo.com the European fashion website that collapsed last month under the weight of poor design, lousy customer service and clueless founders who threw excessively lavish parties. "Everyone's afraid of what happened to Boo," says San Francisco Web designer Kathleen Craig...
...contrast, when scientists from Craig Venter's Celera Genomics and the Human Genome Project announce that they're finished sequencing the genome--which they are scheduled to do this week--the milestone will be a lot murkier. That's because they're not really finished. What the scientists at Celera have done is sequence about 97% of the genome, and the remaining 150 million or so letters won't be deciphered anytime soon. The HGP is even further behind; unlike Celera, it hasn't put its strings of letters into proper order yet. This loose end should be cleared...
Almost everyone agrees that the complete genome sequence is essential to functional genomics--everyone, that is, except William Haseltine, CEO of Human Genome Sciences, a firm he started with Craig Venter in 1992. "Human genome sequencing [of the entire genome] helps us understand the deep and interesting questions of how our genome relates to those of other species," says Haseltine dismissively. "But it isn't particularly practical...
...break ranks over the government's decision that Elian should go home to his father - opinion polls consistently found Americans almost two to one in favor of reuniting father and son. And the turning point in the case may have come when Fidel Castro acceded to attorney Greg Craig's insistence that Juan Miguel Gonzalez fly to Washington. Once the boy's father was on U.S. soil and demanding custody of his son, the Miami relatives' claim that Juan Miguel wasn't free to speak collapsed, leaving them and their backers in a no-win battle that their own momentum...
Apparently, this is the moment for widespread panic. Wielding their groundbreaking discovery, Craig Venter and Francis Collins also seem to have stumbled upon a few of our species' darkest fears: We stand on the verge of grasping every human being's genetic information. But who gets to see it? And, perhaps more importantly, who doesn...
