Parent 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…)
