Human Genome Sequence Has Errors, Scientists Say
Topic: Science 3:09 pm EDT, Jun 11, 2002

"...Dr. Willard said the draft human genome sequence, though "extraordinarily useful," was a long way from complete. Referring to leaders of the rival efforts to sequence the human genome, he said: "As much as Francis Collins and Craig Venter and others like to call the sequence complete, it is still sketchy in places and likely to remain so for some time. To call it complete, as will happen next April to match the 50th anniversary of the Watson-Crick paper, is a bit of a sham."

Jeremy sent me this link...its interesting because I hadn't heard alot about how accurate they thought they were, but it doesn't really suprise me that they are finding large errors. If they had wanted accuracy, they shouldn't have made it a race, but then again, research science is a very competitive field.
