The Event
The February 15, 2001 issue of Nature carried the public consortium’s initial analysis of the human genome.
The Scientific Context
The public consortium presented a working draft, with gaps and uncertainties that subsequent sequencing work addressed.
The evidence
In laboratory history, identifying a sample or reporting a result is not the same as explaining every mechanism. Compare the dated report with what later work established.
