Meet the Decoders
Collins. Lander. Venter. When the subject of decoding the human genome comes
up, these three names usually come up with it. Here, join us as Robert
Krulwich, host of ABC's "Nightline," goes behind the genome-sequencing scene
with Drs. Francis Collins, director of the National Center for Human Genome
Research; Craig Venter, head of its rival, the private Celera Genomics; and the
Whitehead Institute's Eric Lander, one of the leaders of the Human Genome
Project.
We recommend you view the video clips first to get a sense of these singular
scientists and the engaging tête à tête each has with
Krulwich. Then sample the text. But be forewarned: Filmed by "Cracking the Code
of Life" producer Betsey Arledge, the interviews are long, over 30,000 words in
aggregate. We're simply betting that you'll find these chats as riveting as we
did.
