We thank Martin Dohrmann for providing hexactinellid sequences ahead of publication and for useful comments on the manuscript and Catherine Vogler for commenting on the manuscript and for very productive discussions.
A 13kb genomic fragment corresponding to the sequence located ahead of exon-1b was isolated and used to construct a series of luciferase reporter vectors following a 5'-deletion strategy based on the location of the predicted conserved regions.
Sequencing proceeded ahead of many other chromosomes in part because several groups interested in Down syndrome had begun mapping chromosome 21 in the 1980s, before the Human Genome Project even existed.
In his attention to layout, design and sequencing he was ahead of the game, and as the importance of the photobook as an art object in itself has become central to the history and understanding of photography, his early first editions are now much sought after by collectors.
"That way, the images just get better and better and more beautiful to look at – that's just the nature of photography".

And it was Dr. Hunkapiller, along with his boss, Tony L. White of the PE Corporation, the parent company, who thought to set up Celera Genomics and have it use 300 of the new machines to sequence the genome years ahead of the publicly financed Human Genome Project.
A National Academy of Science committee report endorsed the project in 1988 [ 8] and the tide of opinion turned: in 1990, the program was initiated, with the finished sequence published in 2004 ahead of schedule and under budget [ 9].
By finding, sequencing and patenting genes ahead of the publicly funded labs, the genomics companies hope to alter the way health care is practiced.
By finding, sequencing and patenting genes ahead of the publicly funded labs, these companies hope to alter the way health care is practiced and make lots of money in the process.
