One decade on: Sequencing the Human Genome

Published on

“Tomorrow marks the 10 year anniversary of sequencing the human genome. Decades of Medical Research Council (MRC) research into DNA and the human genome have led to the development of technologies such as DNA sequencing, fingerprint and chip technology. MRC researchers [including some from LMB] have played a leading role in all stages of the journey in DNA research and its outcomes for society. Building on the expertise of scientists based at its units, the MRC aims to further the understanding of links between genetics and disease.” This article is no longer available from the source website
