first draft of the human genome sequence released
The human genome project International consortium released a draft of 30,000- 35,000 genomes It was later changed to 20,000-25,000- the DNA sequence in any two individuals is 99.9% identical
- the functions are unknown for over half of the discovered genes
- less than 2% of the genome codes are for proteins
- the number of gremlin (sperm/egg cells) mutations are more prevalent in males than females
