Technology and the Human Genome Project, James Watson
Interviewee: James Watson. James Watson talks about technology and the Human Genome Project.
At the start of the genome project people said, people won't do this boring work, it's going to be too boring. And so in a way the genome project created the need for better machines, the first machines fifteen years ago, they're about a thousand-fold improved. So it would have been a much bigger room if we'd had the machines of fifteen years ago.
