Shotgun Sequencing of the Human Genome
Abstract
The recent public announcement by TIGR and Perkin-Elmer that they intend to form a new company whose goal is to sequence the human genome four years faster and at lower cost than the government-backed Human Genome Project caught the immediate attention of the community. Venter et al. now describe the scientific rationale for their proposal and outline the business plan of the company.

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.
