sentences:  As a collaborator on the international Human Genome Project, his team, featuring programming work by graduate student Jim Kent, posted the first publicly available computational assembly of the human genome sequence on the Internet on July 7, 2000.Following this, his team developed the UCSC Genome Browser, a web-based tool that is used extensively in biomedical research and serves as the platform for several large-scale genomics projects.These include NHGRI’s ENCODE project to use omics methods to explore the function of every base in the human genome (for which UCSC serves as the Data Coordination Center), NIH’s Mammalian Gene Collection, NHGRI’s 1000 genomes project to explore human genetic variation, and NCI’s Cancer Genome Atlas project to explore the genomic changes in cancer.
