Human Genome Sequencing Completed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday May 17, 2006 @01:07PM from the all-the-a-t-c-and-g dept.

Arthur Dent '99 writes "According to this article at Reuters, the last chromosome in the human genome has finally been sequenced, taking 150 British and American scientists 10 years to complete. The sequenced chromosome, Chromosome 1, is the largest chromosome, with nearly twice as many genes as the average chromosome, making up eight percent of the human genetic code. The Human Genome Project has published the sequence online in the journal Nature, according to the article. It contains 3,141 genes (over 1,000 of them newly discovered), and 4,500 new SNPs -- single nucleotide polymorphisms -- which are the variations in human DNA that make people unique."

Can somebody tell me how the fuck my comment is offtopic?

I linked to a site with the First 1000 lines of Chromosome 1.

Open source and all that.
