The Human Genome Project changed traditional understandings of how and why scientific research is conducted. It was, however, not without its detractors. Early in 1990, there was an effort to stop funding for the nascent Human Genome Project, in the form of a letter writing campaign.

The Gene Sweepstakes — or GeneSweep as it became popularly known — was a three-year-long, sweepstakes-style contest organized by British bioinformatician Ewan Birney, Ph.D., of the European Bioinformatics Institute. Scientists participated in the contest by betting on the total number of protein-coding genes that would be identified in the human genome sequence generated by the Human Genome Project.
… explore the locations of genes across the immense human genome sequence. Dr. Birney and his colleagues began … in 1999 in anticipation of the completion of the Human Genome Project. As genes were identified, the Ensembl … would document the location of these genes in the human genome sequence. This process was increasingly performed in …
