| Example of the Human Genome Programme UnterstĂŒtzendes Argument1 #290606 Between 1988 and 2010 genome sequencing projects, associated research and industry activity, both directly and indirectly, generated an economic (output) impact in the U.S. alone of $796 billion and created 3.8 million job-years of employment (310,000 jobs in 2010), with personal income exceeding $244 billion. It has been claimed that the economic success of the Human Genome Programme was partly attributable to the adoption of Open Access for the public programme of research. |
