Human Genome Project Sequencing: Public Project

The video is great! Very informative and explains things clearly.

I just have one question about the method of sequencing:

Is the entire 'book of life' tagged at regular intervals in the beginning for the sole purpose of dividing the DNA into sections to be distributed to the various centers? Is there any other reason it's done (eg. something to assist with Sanger sequencing, maybe)?

Thanks!
