Rival Teams Present Rough Findings in Efforts to Decode Human Genome.
Byline: Richard Saltus
Jun. 27--WASHINGTON--In an achievement so profound that no metaphor seemed able to capture it, scientists yesterday said they have pieced together a "rough draft" of the human genome -- the entire set of DNA scripts in our cells that strongly influence health and illness, behavior, special abilities, and how long we live.
Competing teams said they had mapped about 3 billion letters of DNA code and had sequenced, or identified, 85 percent to 99 percent of the genome. The research pouring out of these sequencing projects is giving biomedical researchers an avalanche of data they believe will revolutionize medicine.
It will take another year or two to fill in the gaps and correct errors in the genetic map, but what has been achieved so far has been more successful and less expensive than anticipated when the audacious plan was crafted about a decade ago.
The two rival scientific groups -- one public, the other employed by a biotech company -- put aside wrangling for a day to…
