Human Genome Symposium: Francis Collins

In 1985 a group of eminent scientists came to UC Santa Cruz to discuss a vision that would become the Human Genome Project. Fast forward to July 7, 2000 when The UCSC genome bioinformatics group makes history by releasing the first working draft of the human genome sequence on the web. Scientists download half a trillion bytes of information from the UCSC genome server in the first 24 hours. This is the historical backdrop that set the stage for the The Human Genome Symposium, convened on August 25, 2001 at UC Santa Cruz to celebrate these milestones and discuss the world-changing impact of sequencing the human genome and practical, ethical, legal and privacy issues in a post-genomic world. This is video of the Symposium, which included a scientific workshop and a public forum. Panelists at the forum were: Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute; Robert Sinsheimer, chancellor emeritus and professor emeritus of biology, UC Santa Cruz; Gene Myers, vice-president of informatics research, Celera Genomics; and Mary-Claire King, professor of Medicine and Genetics, University of Washington. The moderator was Richard Harris, science reporter for National Public Radio and an alumnus of UCSC. The video and panel discussion recordings are available online.Dr. Francis Collins, Director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, shares the latest information on this project.
