Genome Project Has Sequenced Two-Thirds of Human DNA
From Times staff and wire reports
The Human Genome Project, the federally funded effort to decode the human genetic blueprint, announced Wednesday that it has successfully sequenced two-thirds of the estimated 3 billion chemicals that make up human DNA. The project predicted that it would have a “rough draft” that will include 90% of the genome with 99.9% accuracy by June, and the final, highly accurate version before 2003.
