"Collins. Lander. Venter. When the subject of decoding the human genome comes up, these three names usually come up with it. Here, join us as Robert Krulwich, host of ABC's "Nightline," goes behind the genome-sequencing scene with Drs. Francis Collins, director of the National Center for Human Genome Research; Craig Venter, head of its rival, the private Celera Genomics; and the Whitehead Institute's Eric Lander, one of the leaders of the Human Genome Project."
