Before contributing to the first human genome sequence, Sulston mapped the developmental trajectory of every cell in C. elegans , earning the Nobel Prize for Physiology or ...
As we met with success on the worm genome sequence, John was lured into the Human Genome Project by the Wellcome Trust. The human genome, at 30 times the size of the worm genome, and filled with repeats that complicate its sequencing, presented a daunting challenge.
ir John Sulston, a pivotal figure in the Human Genome Project, died on 6 March 2018. He was 75. His extraor-dinary ability to tackle and solve bio-logical problems of immense scale and vision, coupled with his lifelong com-mitment to ethics, shaped the Caenorhab-ditis elegans nematode and human genome communities. Sulston shared the 2002 Nobel
