Dear reader,

This week John Sulston is being awarded the Nobel Prize, with Sydney Brenner
and H Robert Horvitz, for discoveries about the genetic regulation of organ
development and programmed cell death. Sulston is also noted for his
pioneering work on the human genome. In our December issue he writes about
his battle to make the entire sequence of the genome public despite all the
commercial attemps to patent it.

You can now read this article on our website.
