The Human Genome Project: creating an infrastructure for biology and medicine
Abstract
The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international effort to map and sequence the human genome. It combines skills from diverse fields of biological and technological research, thus establishing deeper interactions between scientific disciplines. The combination of these skills should stimulate many advances in both pure and applied fields of research and give rise to new, interdisciplinary training programs. Some critics say that the HGP will damage biomedical research; however, we argue that it will bring new funds to the field and create a large ripple effect by providing new research opportunities through its discoveries.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
