Abstract
By 2005, or sooner, the three billion code letters of a representative human genome will be known, along with the locations of all of its genes. Even today, however, the work is greatly accelerating identification of disease-related genes. One outcome will be tests for genetic components of risk in the majority of common illnesses. In the longer run, genetic discoveries will surely lead to new treatments.Keywords
