Good to see how the Human Genome Project has progressed in the past 35 years. A generation of Principal Investigators today cut their teeth on problems in a time when Sanger sequencing was still state of the art and ROSETTA was new. For a book written at that time, the author provides an authoritative view of the field and directions of research being taken. Would recommend reading for the historical perspective!
