  • Robert Hooke

    Robert Hooke
    Robert Hooke has discoverd the cell. If this event had not happened, the new theories about our existence would not have started.

  • Cells in all living organisms.

    Cells in all living organisms.
    It is discovered that all organisms are composed of cells. If this had not happened Darwin would not have presented the theory of evolution in 1859.

  • Gregorio Mendel

    Gregorio Mendel
    Gregorio Mendel has proposed the laws of inheritance after experimenting with his peas. Thanks to this, in 1871 it was possible to isolate the DNA in the nucleus of the cell.

  • Genes

    Genes
    The fundamental units of inheritance that we know today as genes are named after them. Which will help later to discover that the gene's activity is related to its position on the chromosome.

  • DNA Genetic Code

    DNA Genetic Code
    The complete genetic code of DNA is deciphered. That will help to understand what tells the cell how to make a specific protein.

  • First transgenic mouse

    First transgenic mouse
    Richard Palmiter and Martin Evans have created the first transgenic mouse. If this had not been discovered, many of today's genetic diseases would have had a greater exposure.

  • PCR

    PCR
    Kary Mullis has discovered the PCR technique. If this technique had not been created, many diseases would not have been identified.

  • Modified vegetable

    Modified vegetable
    The United States has started with the sale of modified vegetables. Which will cause a social separation from those who support and those who choose not to buy modified products.

  • Dolly the cloned sheep

    Dolly the cloned sheep
    Dolly was born, thus being the first mammal cloned from an adult cell. This act will cause a frequent fight on the part of scientific and religious groups on the ethics of the case.

  • Human Genome

    Human Genome
    The NGRHI and the DOE has completeded the the sequencing of the human genome. This would help to identify all the paired DNA sequences and to identify all the genes so that they can be mapped.

  • Cancer Genome

    Cancer Genome
    The cancer genome has been sequenced for the first time. This will help us understand how to treat cancer and know it fully.

  • Synthetic cell

    Synthetic cell
    Craig Venter has created the first synthetic cell. This will help create living cells from a mere genetic sequence.
