The Human Genome: Collaboration is the New Competition | Dr. David Haussler | TEDxSantaCruz

Dr. David Haussler shares the compelling story about the race between private and public entities to complete the first DNA sequencing of the human genome. What is the significance of providing the world with the first open source sequenced genome and the accompanying Genome Browser tool? Only the opportunity for scientists and medical professionals around the globe to collaborate in ways that are producing gene therapies previously thought impossible... and more.
David Haussler is scientific director of the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute and director of the Center for Biomolecular Science and Engineering. His work has spawned a cancer research project, a project to map the genome of 10,000 animal species, and programs in computer science, mathematics, microbiology, and medical research. He has a private firm, Five3 Genomics, and is a leader in a global alliance of 70 organizations to fight disease via sharing of genomics and clinical data.
