Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 87-619898 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword For the past 2 years, scientific and technical journals in biology and medicine have extensively covered a debate about whether and how to determine the function and order of human genes on human chromosomes and when to determine the sequence of molecular building blocks that comprise DNA in those chromosomes. In 1987, these issues rose to become part of the public agenda. The debate involves science, technol- ogy, and politics. Congress is responsible for ‘(writing the rules” of what various Federal agencies do and for funding their work. This report surveys the points made so far in the debate, focusing on those that most directly influence the policy options facing the U.S. Congress, The House Committee on Energy and Commerce requested that OTA undertake the project. The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, the Senate Com- mittee on Labor and Human Resources, and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natu- ral Resources also asked OTA to address specific points of concern to them. Congres- sional interest focused on several issues: ● how to assess the rationales for conducting human genome projects, ● how to fund human genome projects (at what level and through which mech- anisms), ● how to coordinate the scientific and technical programs of the several Federal agencies and private interests already supporting various genome projects, and ● how to strike a balance regarding the impact of genome projects on international scientific cooperation and international economic competition in biotechnology.

    Constructing the Scientific Population in the Human Genome Diversity and 1000 Genome Projects Joseph Vitti I. Introduction: Populations Coming into Focus In November 2012, some eleven years after the publication of the first draft sequence of a human genome, an article published in Nature reported a new ‘map’ of the human genome – created from not one, but 1,092 individuals. For many researchers, however, what was compelling was not the number of individuals sequenced, but rather the fourteen worldwide populations they represented. Comparisons that could be made within and among these populations represented new possibilities for the scientific study of human genetic variation. The paper – which has been cited over 400 times in the subsequent year – was the output of the first phase of the 1000 Genomes Project, one of several international research consortia launched with the intent of identifying and cataloguing such variation. With the project’s phase three data release, anticipated in early spring 2014, the sample size will rise to over 2500 individuals representing twenty-six populations. Each individual’s full sequence data is made publicly available online, and is also preserved through the establishment of immortal cell lines, from which DNA can be extracted and distributed. With these developments, population-based science has been made genomic, and scientific conceptions of human populations have begun to crystallize (see appendix). Such extensive biobanking and databasing of human populations is remarkable for a number of reasons, not least among them the socially charged terrain that such an enterprise inevitably must navigate. While the 1000 Genomes Project (1000G) has been relatively uncontroversial in its reception, predecessors such as the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP), first conceived in 1991, faced greater difficulty.

  • Coding Sequences: a History of Sequence Comparison Algorithms As a Scientiªc Instrument
    Coding Sequences: A History of Sequence Comparison Algorithms as a Scientiªc Instrument Hallam Stevens Harvard University Sequence comparison algorithms are sophisticated pieces of software that com- pare and match identical or similar regions of DNA, RNA, or protein se- quence. This paper examines the origins and development of these algorithms from the 1960s to the 1990s. By treating this software as a kind of scien- tiªc instrument used to examine sets of biological objects, the paper shows how algorithms have been used as different sorts of tools and appropriated for dif- ferent sorts of uses according to the disciplinary context in which they were deployed. These particular uses have made sequences themselves into different kinds of objects. Introduction Historians of molecular biology have paid signiªcant attention to the role of scientiªc instruments and their relationship to the production of bio- logical knowledge. For instance, Lily Kay has examined the history of electrophoresis, Boelie Elzen has analyzed the development of the ultra- centrifuge as an enabling technology for molecular biology, and Nicolas Rasmussen has examined how molecular biology was transformed by the introduction of the electron microscope (Kay 1998, 1993; Elzen 1986; Rasmussen 1997).1 Collectively, these historians have demonstrated how instruments and other elements of the material culture of the labora- tory have played a decisive role in determining the kind and quantity of knowledge that is produced by biologists. During the 1960s, a versatile new kind of instrument began to be deployed in biology: the electronic computer (Ceruzzi 2001; Lenoir 1999). Despite the signiªcant role that 1. One could also point to Robert Kohler’s (1994) work on the fruit ºy, Jean-Paul Gaudillière (2001) on laboratory mice, and Hannah Landecker (2007) on the technologies of tissue culture.

  • DNA Fingerprinting in Zoology: Past, Present, Future Geoffrey K Chambers1, Caitlin Curtis2, Craig D Millar3, Leon Huynen2 and David M Lambert2*
    Chambers et al. Investigative Genetics 2014, 5:3 http://www.investigativegenetics.com/content/5/1/3 REVIEW Open Access DNA fingerprinting in zoology: past, present, future Geoffrey K Chambers1, Caitlin Curtis2, Craig D Millar3, Leon Huynen2 and David M Lambert2* Abstract In 1962, Thomas Kuhn famously argued that the progress of scientific knowledge results from periodic ‘paradigm shifts’ during a period of crisis in which new ideas dramatically change the status quo. Although this is generally true, Alec Jeffreys’ identification of hypervariable repeat motifs in the human beta-globin gene, and the subsequent development of a technology known now as ‘DNA fingerprinting’, also resulted in a dramatic shift in the life sciences, particularly in ecology, evolutionary biology, and forensics. The variation Jeffreys recognized has been used to identify individuals from tissue samples of not just humans, but also of many animal species. In addition, the technology has been used to determine the sex of individuals, as well as paternity/maternity and close kinship. We review a broad range of such studies involving a wide diversity of animal species. For individual researchers, Jeffreys’ invention resulted in many ecologists and evolutionary biologists being given the opportunity to develop skills in molecular biology to augment their whole organism focus. Few developments in science, even among the subsequent genome discoveries of the 21st century, have the same wide-reaching significance. Even the later development of PCR-based genotyping of individuals using microsatellite repeats sequences, and their use in determining multiple paternity, is conceptually rooted in Alec Jeffreys’ pioneering work. Keywords: Multilocus VNTR probes, Single locus probes, Avian mating systems, Microsatellite DNA Introduction eyewitness evidence [4].
