This project’s conclusion not only ushered in a new age in medicine, but it also resulted in notable advancements in DNA sequencing technology. The goal of the 13-year, publicly sponsored Human Genome Project, which began in 1990, was to identify the DNA sequence of the full euchromatic human genome in 15 years. Many people, both scientists and nonscientists, were skeptical about the Human Genome Project in its early stages. Whether the project’s enormous expense would offset its…

We know that our identities are shaped by the information stored in our DNA. However, we must learn to read information before completely comprehending it. Like the programs that teach a computer what to do, genes are segments of DNA that work together to form an instruction manual that governs our cells. We were unable…
