A direct working relationship, not merely the shared 2002 prize already wired from Brenner to each of them separately: Sulston's own lead names Horvitz his "colleague... at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology", the two working alongside each other on the same C. elegans research programme.
Shared the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death; Brenner's own lead states only the shared prize, no separate joint project named with Sulston specifically.
