DNA Timeline

  • Physical Map of Human Genome Complete

    In 1995, the map was built and contained 15,086 STSs, plus spaces an average of 199,000 base pair parts.
  • Human DNA Sequence Begins

    In 1996, the National Genome Research Institution funded projects to find the completion of the human genome. The projects tested of a large-scale sequence. Which was founded by Watson.
  • Full Scale Human Genome Sequencing

    People advanced their goal for obtaining draft sequence covering 90% of human genome to 2000.
  • Chromosome 22

    HGP completed its first human chromosome . It was done by a clone by clone sequence to obtain large amounts of highly accurate sequencing. 33,400,000 base pairs in lengths which contains at least 545 genes.
  • Researchers Find Genetic Variation Associated With Prostate Cancer

    Researchers found a gene on chromosome 1 that’s with hereditary form of prostate cancer. 1, 17, 20, and X are associated with having a higher risk.
  • Fiftieth Anniversary of Watson and Crick’s Description of the double Helix

    This was their fiftieth anniversary from winning a Nobel Prize back in 1962 for Physiology and Medicine. They had help from Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin.
