Genome Canada has issued a press release to emphasize Canada's past and future role in the development of genomics, following the historic completion this week of a rough draft of the human genome.
The statement acknowledged the contributions of Canadian researchers - Drs Lap-Chee Tsui, Stephen Scherer, Bartha Maria Knoppers, and Charles Scriver - in the international effort, but stressed that the work in genomics is only just beginning.
