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.

"Because if you did not wear spectacles the brightness and glory of the Emerald City would blind you. Even those who live in the City must wear spectacles night and day. They are all locked on, for Oz so ordered it when the City was first built, and I have the only key that will unlock them."
He opened the big box, and Dorothy saw that it was filled with spectacles of every size and shape. All of them had green glasses in them. The Guardian of the Gates found a pair that would just fit Dorothy and put them over her eyes. There were two golden bands fastened to them that passed around the back of her head, where they were locked together by a little key that was at the end of a chain the Guardian of the Gates wore around his neck. When they were on, Dorothy could not take them off had she wished, but of course she did not wish to be blinded by the glare of the Emerald City, so she said nothing.
