The Freedom to Cure Cancer: Open Source Software in Genomics
,----[ Quote ]
| The Genome Center at Washington University in St. Louis has been at the
| forefront of genomics since its formation in 1990. Helping to lead the
| sequencing and analysis of the first multi-cellular organism, C. elegans, and
| the Human Genome Project, The Genome Center has long leveraged
| free/libre/open source software (FLOSS). One hallmark of these sequencing
| efforts has been the rapid dissemination of sequence data for all to download
| and use.

The Human Genome Goes Wiki
,----[ Quote ]

| potential for mischief -- anyone can change a Wikipedia article, regardless
| of their expertise or intent -- but were convinced by the popularity of the
| online encyclopedia and its volunteer overseers' general quickness.

Born a Creationist, Merck’s Schadt Leads Open Source Effort to Unravel Genome
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the world’s brightest minds at analyzing human DNA was born into a
| family of creationists. When he was 17 and graduating from high school in a
| rural area of southwestern Michigan, Eric Schadt couldn’t even imagine going
| to college.
|
| “My parents were very religious,” Schadt told me on a visit to his office
| last week. They didn’t emphasize education, and neither did the community, he
| says. “Higher education just wasn’t something that people looked forward to
| there. I didn’t really know what college was.”
