That was done and developed by Craig Venter. His genome was the genome which was sequenced. They utilized whole genome shotgun sequencing with 330 ABI 3700’s, small insert libraries were then cloned, robotics were used to pick the colonies, and then after all the sequence was generated, a supercomputer was used for the assembly. Hence, in three months of sequencing, the 20+ GBs of Craig Venter’s genome was sequenced and this generated the first referenced human genome sequence. This was very impressive technology but technology moves on.
