When it comes to scientific achievements that have advanced the practice of medicine, you’d be hard-pressed to find one more influential than the Human Genome Project. The project, a federally funded collaboration between scientists around the globe, began in October 1990 with the goal of improving our knowledge of human biology by sequencing an entire human genome, which is the complete set of DNA in a cell. Nearly 13 years and $2.7 billion later, the project wrapped up in April 2003, and scientists around the world now use the reference human genome to study genetics, biology, and more. Today, the entire human genome can be sequenced in as little as five hours and costs as little as $600. Learn more about the Human Genome Project’s impact here.
