Name suggestion: “The Craig Venter Principle”. Back in ’98, the Human Genome Project was scheduled to finish sequencing the first full human genome in another 5 years (having started in 1990). Venter started a company to do it in two years with more modern tech (specifically shotgun sequencing). That basically forced the HGP to also switch to shotgun sequencing in order to avoid public embarrassment, and the two projects finished a first draft sequence at basically the same time.
