UTSW scientists helped map the human genome 20 years ago. It changed medicine forever
Twenty years ago, a global team of scientists completed what was once thought to be an impossible task: They sequenced the human genome, creating a map of the genetic instructions tucked inside each cell and fundamentally changing the fields of biology and medicine. Such an undertaking, which took 13 years…
