A few weeks ago I piece that I wrote appeared in a heavily edited version in "The Conversation". The editors did a great job in turning what I wrote into a good piece of journalism, but when I compared where my piece started and where it ended, I feel that the essential message of my story was lost in translation. My story was about how research advances in unexpected ways when the environment creates opportunities for inter-disciplinary research and it had more technical detail. So while my original story may be less riveting, I am posting it for those who might be interested in the more technical aspects of how the human genome project got its start!
