Objectives and Framework

摘要

The international project team on human genome sequencing announced the draft sequence in 2002, propelling life sciences research into a new era. The human genome was officially completed in 2003, and the following year saw the completion of the precise decoding of the rice genome, too. The announcement of the decoding of the human genome marked the start of the post-genome era in life sciences research, and thrust proteins, the functional elements of cells, into the limelight.
