Author(s): E. William EbomoyiE. William Ebomoyi
A detailed account of the overwhelming success attributed to the Human Genome Sequencing Project (HGSP) was examined. A comparison was made of the quality of life indicators between the G-8 nations and the other progressive developing nations, identifying the challenges involved in establishing viable genomic centers. Demographic data for the scientific workforce in Brazil, China and India and the frequencies of their IT and bioengineering graduates will clearly out space those of G-8 nations in the next few years. This trend could leapfrog some of the developing nations into the status of highly industrialized countries. The lessons gleaned from the trajectory of their economic growth and development involve the ingenuity of their political administrators in advancing time-tested, cogent scientific policies, the generous funding and investment in scientific infrastructures to implement ..
