摘　　要：On June 26,2000,President Bill Clinton held aceremony at the White House announcing the completion of the human genome sequencing.Finally,the leaders of the two competing groups,Dr.Francis Collins from the National Institute of Health,and Dr.J.Craig Venter from Celera Genomics,shook their hands.As a scientist who had been actively involved in both the public and private sides of human genome sequencing,I can still feel the excitement of being a contributor of this landmark scientific project even after 20 years.Nowadays,I can also attest the significance of this achievement as the reference human genome sequence is being used every day by my research team to find cures for pediatric cancers.In this feature I would like to present a foot soldier’s account on assembling and analyzing the sequence of the human genome.
