UCSC to host public forum on human genome research In 1985, a group of eminent biologists gathered at UCSC to discuss a radical proposal put forth by molecular biologist Robert Sinsheimer, then chancellor of the UCSC campus. His idea was to launch a massive project to determine the complete DNA sequence of the human genome. It would be five years before the Human Genome Project was officially launched, and 10 more before project leaders announced with great fanfare the completion of a working draft of the human genome sequence. This summer, many of the participants in the historic 1985 meeting will gather again at UCSC. MORE CURRENTS ONLINE is produced every two weeks during the summer. The next issue will be posted on Monday, July 9.
