    Extractions: The biological code crackers sequencing the human genome have said they have finished the job - two years ahead of schedule. Decoding using the power of robotics and computers ( Image by The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Their announcement came less than three years after a "rough draft" was published to worldwide acclaim. When UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and then US President Bill Clinton hailed the publication of the draft in June 2000, 97% of the "book of life" had been read. The decoding is now close to 100% complete. The remaining tiny gaps are considered too costly to fill and those in charge of turning genomic data into medical and scientific progress have plenty to be getting on with. The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, the only British institution taking part in the international effort, completed almost a third of the sequence - the biggest contribution by a single institution. Its director, Professor Allan Bradley, said that completing the human genome was a vital step on a long road, but that the eventual health benefits could be phenomenal.

Used with permission of the author. Summary Let's Even Consider Sequencing! Antiquity Enter the Department of Energy ... DNA and Genetics Unite This chapter summarizes human genetics and its history with simple descriptions of modes of inheritance using the commonly-used terms from the genetic literature. It also describes current efforts to create genetic maps and to sequence the 3 billion bases in the human genome. An Appendix in the back of this volume summarizes the genetic principles of inheritance in humans. Awareness of the inheritance of both human appearance and behavioral characteristics dates from ancient times. In a similar vein, selective breeding of domestic animals and plants, both for greater yields and for ease of management, produced strains which maintained these better characteristics in subsequent generations. The evolution of today's corn from the minuscule wild maize of pre-Colombian America is one excellent example. Others include the draft horse, both beef and dairy cattle, and especially the various breeds of dogs for different uses such as herding, retrieving, pointing or simply companionship. These represent what can be done with intentional genetic manipulation employing appropriate selection for physical and behavioral traits.

Shortly after their press conferences, the two groups that had been striving for several years to map the human genome published their findings: These achievements were monumental, but before we examine them, let us be clear as to what they were not. Neither group had determined the complete sequence of the human genome. Each of our chromosomes is a single molecule of DNA. Some day the sequence of base pairs in each will be known from one end to the other. But in 2001, thousands of gaps remained to be filled. What they had done was present a series of draft sequences that represented about 90% (probably the most interesting 90%) of the genome. Even taken together, the results did not provide an accurate count of the number of protein-encoding genes in our genome (in contrast to such genomes as those of

    Extractions: The human genome is the genome of Homo sapiens . It is made up of 23 chromosome pairs with a total of about 3 billion DNA base pairs . The Human Genome Project produced a reference sequence of the euchromatic human genome, which is used worldwide in all of the biomedical sciences. edit edit The human genome is composed of 46 chromosomes , each of which contain thousands of genes seperated by intergenic regions . Intergenic regions may contain both functionally important regulatory sequences and unimportant "junk DNA". There are 24 distinct human chromosomes , numbers 1-22 plus the sex-determining X and Y chromosomes. Chromosomes 1-22 are numbered roughly in order of decreasing size. Each somatic cell in a healthy individual has one copy of chromosomes 1-22 from each parent, plus an X chromosome from the mother, and either an X or Y chromosome from the father, for a total of 46. edit It is currently estimated that there are 20,000-25,000 human protein-coding genes . Surprisingly, this is comparable (within a factor of 2) to the number of genes in several much simpler organisms, such as the

    Extractions: The Human Genome Project (HGP) endeavored to map the human genome down to the nucleotide (or base pair ) level and to identify all the genes present in it. edit The Project was launched in by Charles DeLisi , who was then Director of the US Department of Energy's Health and Environmental Research Programs. The goals and general strategy of the Project were outlined in a two-page memo to the Assistant Secretary in April 1986, which helped garner support from the DOE, the OMB and Congress, especially Senator Pete Dominici . A series of Scientific Advisory meetings, and complex negotiations with senior Federal officials resulted in a line item for the Project in the Presidential budget submission to the Congress. Initiation of the Project was the culmination of several years of work supported by the US Department of Energy, in particular a feasibility workshop in 1986 and a subsequent detailed description of the Human Genome Initiative in a report that led to the formal sanctioning of the initiative by the Department of Energy . This 1987 report stated boldly, "The ultimate goal of this initiative is to understand the human genome" and "Knowledge of the human genome is as necessary to the continuing progress of medicine and other health sciences as knowledge of human anatomy has been for the present state of medicine". Candidate technologies were already being considered for the proposed undertaking at least as early as 1985
