An example of the sequencing progress for human genomes.
Scientists from many disciplines converged this year to decode the script of life in a variety of organisms, from people to weeds. Their breakthrough ranks first among Science's top achievements of 2000. "Genomes carry the torch of life from one generation to the next for every organism on Earth," reads the journal. The breakthrough could "alter our view of the world we live in." The work sheds light on the profound similarities among all biota on Earth. The human genome in particular gives insight to the heterogeneity of cancer, the causes of aging and the complexity of the immune system.
