Аннотация:COLD SPRING HARBOR, NEW YORK—The human genome has been sequenced, but calculating the number of genes it contains is taking more time. DNA experts have nonetheless decided they know who made the best prediction: Lee Rowen. The Seattle sequencer and two of her colleagues were declared winners this week of GeneSweep, an informal contest begun here 3 years ago at a genome meeting at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), in which researchers tried to guess just how many protein-coding sequences it takes to make a human.
