This day commemorates the successful completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 and also the discovery of the double helix by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953.
The decoding of the human genome has answered many questions, and this process continues!
The biggest discovery of the project was that the nucleotide sequence of any two people is 99.9% identical. Even a single nucleotide change (mutation) can often cause disease.
