J. Craig Venter led a rival project that used shotgun sequencing.
Much of this project relied on a BAC-based method whose results were put together with Jim Kent's GigAssembler. Bill Clinton's announcement that the result of this initiative couldn't be patented caused Celera Corporation's value to crash. This $3 billion project was led by (*) Francis Collins, and J. Craig Venter led a rival project that used shotgun sequencing. Institutions like the Broad Institute divvied up chromosomes to map in this project. For 10 points, name this international project to sequence the the entire Homo sapiens genome.
