Biographical note
In November 1999 a two week "jamboree" was held at Celera headquarters to annotate the Drosophila melanogaster genome sequence. Over forty researchers from the Berkeley and European Drosophila Genome Projects participated, including Ashburner who was one of the principle organisers. The jamboree was followed by ten days of quality control and assurance work in January 2000. This involved just a handful of people including Ashburner.
