Sequencing is often associated with the Human Genome Project and celebrated achievements concerning the DNA molecule. However, the history of this practice comprises not only academic biology, but also the world of computer-assisted information management. The book uncovers this history, qualifying the hype and expectations around genomics.
Review: 'Overall, this book provides a detailed time line of the events from the earliest methodologies to the metagenomic sequencing standard of today, and is a useful resource for anyone interested in the historical angle of DNA sequencing. Highly recommended.' - M.C. Pavao, Worcester State College, Choice ...an invaluable, possibly even essential, addition to the bookshelf of anyone wishing to understand modern biology in all its facets...The author has done a masterful job of integrating information about the way in which different aspects of computer science...have contributed to the development of sequencing. - Neeraja Sankaran, British Journal for the History of Science, 46: 544 ...a revised dissertation, grounded in a remarkable variety of primary sources including corporate records and oral history interviews. - Ruth Schwatz Cowan, American Historical Review, June 2013: 827
