Anybody familiar with news sources which questioned Celera accomplishment before they admitted how they did it?

- cowsandmilk 3y agoParent is weird in claiming celera was hiding things. The second half of the 90s was a very vocal spat between Celera and the HGP about sequencing methods and Celera saying shotgun sequencing was superior. And the HGP was publishing updates to their genome every 24 hours while Celera published their sequence on completion of the initial draft, which showed their coverage. The fact that there wasn’t 100% coverage wasn’t hidden to anyone who read the published papers. (The abstract for the Celera paper even states “reduced the size and number of gaps”, which plainly indicates there were still gaps…)
- comboy 3y agoHuh, narration matters. Thanks.

The remaining tiny gaps are considered too costly to fill and those in charge of turning genomic data into medical and scientific progress have plenty to be getting on with. OP is being silly. Nobody was fooling anyone.
