She likes to note that the effort to map the human genome began as a government project, and has been taken over by private efforts now that the commercial potential has become obvious.
When scientists embarked on the 13-year journey to map the human genome in 1990, they envisioned a future in which the knowledge of DNA would aid in the diagnosis, treatment and even prevention of thousands of diseases and disorders.
For instance, MIT's Eric Lander founded Millennium Pharmaceuticals (nasdaq: MLNM - news - people ) in 1993, but that didn't stop him from being a major force in the academic effort to map the human genome.
We have a map of the human genome and new ways to produce renewable energy.

Dr. Vidal says about 20% of the project is finished, making it already the most complete map of the human protein network.
Scientists are set to release the first batch of data from a project designed to create the first map of the human brain.
Venter was the first to precisely map an entire human genome.
Vertex argues that the rapid-fire method, which it dubbed "chemogenomics, " is the best way to keep up with the flood of promising data resulting from the map of the human genome.
They were analyzed with advanced versions of the DNA-sequencing machines used to map DNA in the Human Genome Project.
Fay and pilot Peter Ragg followed a general map of the "human footprint" on the continent while automatic cameras snapped a photo of the ground below every 20 seconds.
It should help them to find out where sub-sequences of the human genetic code fit into the overall gene map.
Researchers hope the cache of new drug targets from decoding the map of all 30, 000 human genes will rescue them, but that could be five or ten years away.
Ushahidi (testimony in Swahili) is an open platform for anyone looking to gather data specifically around human rights crisis situations and visualize it on a map or timeline.
To build on a metaphor used by Eric Green, the head of the National Human Genome Research Institute, this is like a map of a coastline drawn by an explorer who has not made landfall.

The technology is being used by Myriad Proteomics , a joint venture with Hitachi and Oracle (nasdaq: ORCL - news - people ), to try to map the millions of proteins found in the human body.
Mr. Holloway and Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services Linda Gibbs introduced the new flood-zone map Friday as part of the city's Hurricane Sandy After Action report, an overview of the emergency response to one of the worst storms in New York City's history.
WSJ: After Sandy, More in New York City Could Face Storm Evacuations
He said it was similar to the human navigational process, where we build up a "mental map" of our surroundings by recognising familiar sights.
The genome project, which the government began in 1987, aimed to speed the gene-hunting effort by providing the first full map of all 3 billion base pairs that make up human DNA. (It was not necessary, in this effort, to run through all the pairs on each set of chromosomes, or 6 billion pairs.) And because the base pairs come in only four varieties, they are digital and ideal for computer decoding.
Celera genomics began life as the swashbuckling mapper of the human genome, but it never could find the profit treasure buried in that map.
