X Methuselah Mouse Prize (Prize) Cup A prospective annual award for space-travel innovations from the X Prize Foundation, to replace its Ansari X Prize, whose $10 million purse for flying a private vehicle at least twice into space and back again within a fortnight went to US aviator Burt Rutan in October 2004
Summary
Martin Reese proved that he was more than a fly on the wall in the Drosophila Genome Center at the University of California at Berkeley when, as a young PhD student, he encouraged colleagues to approach their work in an entirely new way. “The problem was people published papers on their algorithms...on different data sets,” recalls Reese, “so it was very hard to get a really good assessment on whose is the best and what are really the right methods and the right underlying signs to be used to do this job right.” Borrowing an idea from protein biologists, Reese brought together 12 teams under the umbrella of the Genome Annotation Assessment Project (GASP), provided them with the same Drosophila sequence to hone their prediction programs, and invited them to defend their results at a workshop in Heidelberg, Germany, a few Citation: O’Neill B (2005) Prices for ingenuity.
