    This dissertation aims at evaluating the impact of projects A Genoma Xylella fastidiosa (Simpson et al, 2000) e Xanthomonas citri (Silva et al, 2002) funded by FAPESP, Chromobacterium violaceum (Brazilian National Project Consortium, 2003) promoted by The Ministry of Science and Technology in Molecular Biology, in the period from 1996 to 2007. It starts with the hypothesis that the programs studied strengthened Genomics Molecular Biology in São Paulo state. The methodological design included two directions: 1) quantitative description of scientific (Articles indexed in ISI and SCOPUS) and technological (Requests for registration of patents with the U.S. office of patents – USPTO) production and the Brazilian state of São Paulo in the field of molecular biology when compared to developed and developing countries. We consider how the period of investigation between 1997 and 2010; 2) quantitative and qualitative analysis of the impact of techno-scientific projects in the trajectories of the researchers involved, integrating data on level of training, placement in the development system (scientific productivity and/or technological) and qualitative aspects of the benefits, obstacles challenges. The results indicate that, after 1997, Brazil, when compared to developing countries, presents significant growth of scientific literature in molecular biology, especially the state of Sao Paulo, as well as an imbalance between growth and innovation, since the number of patent applications is still lower than expected. The analysis of Lattes and interviews with researchers involved indicate difficulties in the continuity of research projects in the area, despite the recognition of the importance of programs to the techno-scientific careers, equipment acquisition and training of subareas that do not exist as bioinformatics. Considering the current scenario (2009-2010), marked by changes in public perception of the genomics program and recognition of successful programs in international journals in the recent editorial in Nature, the retrospective made in this dissertation (1996-2007) sheds light on the demand for a perspective look at the object of further research.
