Página 22 - ... I am pleased to be able to testify for the first time as Director of the National Center for Human Genome Research. The task of determining the human DNA sequence is now firmly established as a national objective. Similar to the 1961 decision made by President Kennedy to send a man to the moon, the United States has committed itself to a highly visible and important goal. We did not know if we could successfully reach the moon — we already know it is possible to map and sequence the human genome....

Página 34 - The importance, complexity, and cost of the effort to map and sequence the human genome makes international cooperation essential. Most developed countries are already formulating strategies to undertake aspects of this international effort, and some developing countries have expressed interest in participating in the research as well.
Página 34 - How to ensure that nations work together instead of indulging in costly competitive races for the same chromosomal objectives will be a challenge. Open communication, sharing of basic scientific data and collaborative efforts are probably the most productive methods for preventing duplication of research efforts and costly international competitions. A number of prominent international molecular biologists and human geneticists have banded together to form "The Human Genome Organization" (HUGO) ....
