Read the genome of James Watson - now on 2-DVD set

Unlocking the genetic code was one of the most insightful scientific discoveries in the history of man. It is amazing to think that, in contrast, sequencing every base pair of one who unlocked the genetic code provides almost no insights at all. When you cast aside all of the hype, the sobering truth is that genome sequencing may for years to come provide nothing more than a lot of purines and pyrmidines. It is my belief that trying to extract insights into the genetic basis of human disease from the primary sequence will be a challenge for generations to come.
