{"product_id":"grand-celebration","title":"Grand Celebration","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1990, scientists began working together on one of the largest biological research projects\u003cbr\u003e\never proposed. The project proposed to sequence the three billion nucleotides in the human\u003cbr\u003e\ngenome. The Human Genome Project took 13 years and was completed in April 2003, at a\u003cbr\u003e\ncost of approximately three billion dollars. It was a major scientific achievement that forever\u003cbr\u003e\nchanged the understanding of our own nature. The sequencing of the human genome was in\u003cbr\u003e\nmany ways a triumph for technology as much as it was for science. From the Human Genome\u003cbr\u003e\nProject, powerful technologies have been developed (e.g., microarrays and next generation\u003cbr\u003e\nsequencing) and new branches of science have emerged (e.g., functional genomics and\u003cbr\u003e\npharmacogenomics), paving new ways for advancing genomic research and medical\u003cbr\u003e\napplications of genomics in the 21st century. The investigations have provided new tests and\u003cbr\u003e\ndrug targets, as well as insights into the basis of human development and diagnosis\/treatment\u003cbr\u003e\nof cancer and several mysterious humans diseases. This genomic revolution is prompting a\u003cbr\u003e\nnew era in medicine, which brings both challenges and opportunities. Parallel to the\u003cbr\u003e\npromising advances over the last decade, the study of the human genome has also revealed\u003cbr\u003e\nhow complicated human biology is, and how much remains to be understood. The legacy of\u003cbr\u003e\nthe understanding of our genome has just begun. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the\u003cbr\u003e\nessential completion of the Human Genome Project, in April 2013 Genes launched this\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecial Issue, which highlights the recent scientific breakthroughs in human genomics, with a\u003cbr\u003e\ncollection of papers written by authors who are leading experts in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJohn Burn, James R.
