Table of contents Abstract
A physicist with the Theoretical Division of Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, Walter Goad became interested in molecular biology in the mid-1960s, devoting nearly all of his research to the analysis, storage and retrieval of information relating to nucleic acid sequences by the early 1970s. He was among the founders of GenBank, the world's first nucleic acid database, and was influential in the development of computational techniques for the analysis of DNA sequences. In the late 1980s, he served on the steering committee overseeing the establishment of the Human Genome Project. The Goad Papers relate primarily to the establishment and early operation of GenBank, the early phases of the Human Genome Project, and, more generally, to Goad's role as godfather of the new field of bioinformatics.

From his roots in the red clay soil of rural Georgia during the Depression, Walter Goad went on to a distinguished career in two disparate fields: nuclear weapons design and bioinformatics. Having lived in various towns in Georgia and graduating from Grainger High School in Kinston, N.C., in 1942, Goad set out to become a radio technician and expand his horizons by heading north for the first time. As would be true throughout his early years, his experience would be brief, but fruitful. Shortly after accepting a position with a station in Schenectady, N.Y., Goad was taken under the wing of his employer, who steered him toward college, helping arrange a scholarship at nearby Union College to make it all possible.

With America's entry in the Second World War, however, Goad's college plans changed. At the end of his freshman year, when he became eligible for the draft, Goad enlisted in the Navy and earned a spot in the V-12 officers' training program. The program allowed Goad, along with a small number of other candidates that included Baruch Blumberg, to continue toward his B.S. in physics, which he was awarded in the spring of 1945, just as the war was ending in Europe. His subsequent military career was nearly as brief as his career in radio. After an additional four months of training at midshipman's school in Annapolis, Goad was detached to the Pacific to complete his military obligation aboard a submarine chaser. By the following spring, his service was no longer needed, and he returned home to enter the University of California, Berkeley, as one of the horde of returning veterans pursuing a graduate degree in physics. The departure of Robert Oppenheimer later that year, however, took the luster off of Berkeley and as the appeal of the overtaxed program waned, Goad decided to transfer to Duke to work under the up and coming Lothar Nordheim on a project eventually titled A Theoretical Study of Extensive Cosmic Ray Air Showers (1954).

Yet again, Goad's path shifted. During the Spring 1950, Nordheim took a leave of absence to work at Los Alamos National Laboratory, inviting Goad to accompany him and complete his dissertation in New Mexico. Assigned to work with the Theoretical Division, Goad's first priority was to complete his dissertation, but he rapidly became a valued member of the design team working on the hydrogen bomb (he witnessed the first test on Eniwetok (Enewetak) Atoll in November 1952), and except for two sabbatical years, never again left the Laboratory. Goad's association with Los Alamos was personal, as well as professional: in 1952, he met and married Maxine Steineke, a graduate student in physics from Stanford working at the Laboratory with whom he had three children.

Although Goad's residence was firmly settled, his intellectual interests gradually evolved. By the early 1960s, he and a small number of colleagues at Los Alamos began to take up an interest in the emerging field of molecular biology. Spending a sabbatical year at the University of Colorado medical school (1964-1965) to strengthen his knowledge of the field, Goad began to apply himself to the challenges posed by the rapid accumulation of nucleic acid data, and after another sabbatical at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England (1970-1971), he turned his full efforts to molecular research. When George Bell created group T-10 at Los Alamos (Theoretical Biology and Biophysics) in 1974, Goad became one of its charter members.

To molecular biology, Goad brought a suite of quantitative skills and a strong knowledge of computing. As early as the late 1960s, he made efforts to address the problems associated with the storage, retrieval, and analysis of molecular data, conceiving of the computer as a central tool for collaborative and analytical work in molecular biology. Following a 1979 meeting at the Rockefeller University to discuss how these data could be managed and exploited, Goad and his Los Alamos colleagues established the Los Alamos Sequence Data Bank and began to develop software for sequence analysis. Goad conceived of expanding the database nationally and internationally.

With funding from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), among other agencies, the core facility at Los Alamos was expanded in collaboration with Bolt, Baranek, and Newman (BBN, the firm that had handled the construction of ARPANet in the late 1960s), and in 1982, the database was rechristened GenBank. The base of its operations remained at Los Alamos, as it was operated successively under the control of BBN (1982-1987), IntelliGenetics (1987-1992), and (since 1992) the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Goad also helped to establish a strong working relationship with parallel efforts in Europe (the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, EMBL) and Japan (DNA Database of Japan, DDBJ).

The success of GenBank in turn laid much of the groundwork for the Human Genome Project which followed in the late 1980s and 1990s. Begun formally in 1990 as an effort to identify, map, and sequence all of the genes in the human genome, the Human Genome Project benefited both conceptually and practically from GenBank, and Goad was an early member of the the Human Genome Advisory Panel.

For his efforts on behalf of GenBank, Goad received a Los Alamos National Laboratory Distinguished Service Award, and the Laboratory bestowed its highest honor, making him a Laboratory Fellow. He was also a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Walter Goad died of a stroke in Santa Fe on November 2, 2000.


Scope and content
The papers of Walter Goad, a nuclear physicist from Los Alamos Labs and pioneer in bioinformatics, consist of six linear feet of materials documenting the founding of GenBank and the early phases of the Human Genome Project. Bringing the quantitative skills of a physicist to bear on the problem of the analysis, storage and retrieval of molecular biological information, Goad was instrumental in the creation of the first nucleic acid sequence databank.

The collection is oriented almost exclusively toward the phase of Goad's career after he had taken up molecular biology. Apart from a small number of letters dating from the early 1940s, when Goad was seeking his first job, and an interesting response to the Federation of American Scientists' statement on hydrogen bomb testing from 1953, there is nothing to document his career prior to his conversion to DNA. The relatively limited correspondence (0.5 linear feet) in the Series I is primarily personal in nature, however Goad's extensive exchanges with his friend, Nobel laureate Sidney Altman, reveals a great deal about their mutual scientific interests and attitudes. Goad's stand on behalf of his Los Alamos colleague, Wen Ho Lee, accused of providing sensitive information on nuclear weapons to the People's Republic of China, is well documented.

Series II consists of correspondence, manuscripts, documents, notes, and printed materials directly or indirectly relating to GenBank, including planning documents, contracts for the construction of the databank, materials documenting the role of Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in facilitating the project, information on "competitors" and colleagues, workshops and conferences, and correspondence with Bolt, Baranek and Newman, the contractor for database construction and distribution (and the firm who developed ARPANET, networking routers, and email, as well as introducing the @ sign).

Goad's role in the Human Genome Project was smaller, though still important, and Series III includes approximately one linear foot of manuscripts, correspondence, and notes relating to meeting of the Human Genome Project steering committee in the project's planning phases.

    Collection overview

    		 Series I. Correspondence and notes 1942-2000 1 box; 0.5 linear feet

    Miscellaneous correspondence, reports, and legal documents of both a professional and personal nature. The most extensive body of correspondence consists of numerous email exchanges with Sidney Altman, a close friend and 1989 Nobel laureate in chemistry, and there are less extensive exchanges with Nobel laureates Baruch Blumberg and Max Perutz. While the correspondence with Altman is largely personal, both correspondents touch on a wide range of topics, from Ernst Mayr's alleged antipathy to molecular biology to hierarchical theories of evolution to current politics.

    Goad's annual progress reports to Los Alamos provide interesting insight into the evolution of his views on molecular biology between the late 1960s and mid-1970s when his commitment to the field was consolidated and when he moved into Los Alamos group T-10, Theoretical Biology and Biophysics. Equally important is a series of files relating to what might have been the highest profile event of his career: his efforts on behalf of his Los Alamos colleague, Wen Ho Lee, who had been accused of supplying secret information about nuclear weapons research to the People's Republic of China. Goad took a prominent role in marshalling support among scientists and in the media, and supplied an affidavit (his "declaration") on behalf of Lee at trial.




    		Series II. Works by Goad 1953-2000 1 box; 0.5 linear feet

    Selected works, published and semi-published, by Goad from throughout his career. These include a copy of his dissertation, A Theoretical Study of Extensive Cosmic Ray Air Showers (Duke University, 1954), articles (not separately inventoried), book reviews, and reviews of grant and research proposals by peers.




    		Series III. GenBank materials 1979-1987 4 boxes; 2 linear feet

    Materials relating to the founding and first ten years of operation of GenBank, including general correspondence, correspondence with Bolt, Baranek and Newman (contractors for the database and networking operations), contracts with government agencies, and grant proposals.

    As a member of the GenBank Advisory Group, Goad took part in meetings concerning the structuring of the database, its relationships with similar enterprises in the United States, Europe and Japan, and in reporting on its development. Along with selected minutes of the Advisory Group, the series includes memos and other documents submitted to Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory to document GenBank-related activities, information on "competitors" and peers (e.g. Genet, MolGen, PROPHET, and Japanese nucleic acid data banks), studies of computing needs and facilities for GenBank, and users' manuals for submitting data to GenBank and using the database. Materials filed under EMBL consist primarily of correspondence and documents relating to meetings with EMBL and documents presented to Los Alamos to support requests for reimbursement.

    The "Los Alamos Internal documents" include Goad's status reports to the Lab and his prospectuses for research and funding submitted to supervisors. These provide an important perspective on the internal support at Los Alamos for the development of GenBank and Among the more interesting manuscripts in the series are "Computer Storage and Analysis of DNA Sequences," 1982 (a status report to the Institutional Supporting Research and Development); "DNA as Molecular Processor," ca.1984 (proposal); "Identification of Functional Similarities in Nucleic Acid Sequences," 1984 (draft proposal), and a draft of Jim Fickett's "five year plan" for the redesign of GenBank, 1987. A printout of a program in FORTRAN for detecting homologous sequences, 1984, is a relic of an earlier era of programming.




    		Series IV. Human Genome Project 1983-1993 2 boxes; 1 linear foot

    Materials relating primarily to the planning stages for the Human Genome Project, many emanating from Goad's participation in the Advisory Panel. Goad attended several early planing workshops in which the sequencing and analytical technologies were fleshed out, with the intention of tapping newer technologies to scale up the mapping and sequencing enterprise, including polymerase chain reaction and the intensive use of computers and robotic approaches. In addition to a small suite of materials from the Human Genome Management Plan workshop, the final report from the Human Genome Workshop held in Santa Fe, 1986, provides a good technological and conceptual baseline for the project.




    		Series V. Conferences and workshops 1980-1988 2 boxes; 1 linear foot

    Information on a variety of molecular biological and data analysis conferences and workshops in which Goad participated. The most voluminous files are those from the CODATA conferences and Numerical Data Advisory Board of the NRC, but there is information on the NIGMS Nucleic Acid Sequence Data Bank Workshop (1980); the Aspen Center conference of the Acquisition, Integration, and Analysis of Molecular Genetic Information (1982); the NSF Advisory Committee on Advanced Computing (1983-1984); the Hayashibara Forum (Okayama, Japan, 1987); the Complex Carbohydrate Structure Data Base Workshop (1986); the workshop "Exploring the Role of Robotics and Automation in Decoding the Human Genome" (1987); and the Workshop on Algorithms for Molecular Genetics (1988). The series includes two interesting typescripts: "Data Management for Physical Mapping" and "Notes on the Lehrach Probe Hybridization Map" by G. P. Smith, both from 1987.




    		Series VI. Biographical and personal 1942-2001 1 box; 1 linear foot

    Miscellaneous materials of a biographical, autobiographical, or personal nature, including Goad's diplomas, certificates of fellowship in scientific societies, his military service records, and articles about Goad and his research that appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Science, Omni, the Los Alamos Newsbulletin, and local newspapers. The series contains two two-page autobiographical pieces written by Goad, and a longer, though incomplete memoir, written ca.2000.




    		Series VII. Miscellaneous and photographs 1945-2000 1 box; 1 linear foot

    Miscellaneous manuscript materials and candid and studio photographs of Goad, his family, and colleagues. The manuscripts contain an interesting series of drafts from the Executive Committee of the Los Alamos Branch of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS), March 1955, objecting to the tone of a statement issued by the national FAS of hydrogen bomb testing, and a typescript "Comments on FAS Release of H-Bomb Test Dangers." Also included are a bound laboratory notebook and miscellaneous notes from Goad's research in bioinformatics,
