The Human Genome Project should receive partial credit for giving us the technological advancement and innovation necessary to conduct widespread genetic research. The project, which completed the first sequence of the human genome, finished in 2003. This massive undertaking led to the development of rapid and automated genetic sequencing. It has trickled down into many […] Read more
