A strategy for sequencing the genome 5 years early

Article Abstract:

Gene sequencers John Sulston and Robert Waterston have claimed that the Human Genome Project can be complete 5 years ahead of schedule with existing technology. Smaller groups working on the project fear their funding may be cut as the money is siphoned from them to speed up the project.
