A decade ago last week (April 14, 2003), the Human Genome Project was completed. This article composes questions with Dr. Green and compares human genome sequencing then and now. He explains how it is now better and faster, but above all way cheaper. The human genome gave scientists a roadmap of humans, and helps in understanding cancer and rare genetic diseases. With this, we are now able to draw blood of a pregnant woman and analyze the DNA of the unborn child. The Hman Genome Project had come a long way, in that, cost is now way cheaper to analyze DNA, and disease are being understood easier now.
