Genome at 10: Scientists urge patience for medical breakthroughs

2010-04-02T09:16:20Z

The genome has yet to deliver on promises it would usher in a golden age of medicine, experts say in a debate unleashed by the looming anniversary of the first draft of the human genetic code.

On June 26 2000, two teams -- one a public consortium, the other a private venture -- tied in a frenzied, multi-billion-dollar race to be first to publish a working blueprint of human DNA.

Tens of billions of dollars have been pumped into genomics research since this landmark event.
