"Trivial" Error in Celera Fly Genome

In "one of the most petty and ridiculous issues ever in the history of science" - according to the guilty company's chief scientific officer - federal officials noticed that when Celera uploaded genetic sequences of the fruit fly to a public database, there was some human DNA mixed in. It's now been removed, and everyone seems to think this is not a very significant error. But the harsh exchange and defensive posturing on both sides underscores the edgy rivalry between the government group's slow-and-steady approach and Celera's "shotgun" approach to mapping the human genome. This story is also important because mixing human genes into a fly's genes is freaky cool - someone should make a movie about that.
