At the Harvard Medical Schoool, "about 150 scientists, lawyers and entrepreneurs" gathered in a closed-door meeting to discuss an incipient initiative called "HGP-Write: Testing Large Synthetic Genomes in Cells." The proposed project was originally to be called "HGP2: The Human Genome Synthesis Project"; "HGP" is an abbreviation for the Human Genome Project. The synthesis of long DNA sequences, possibly but not necessarily of human origin, is the stated goal.
