50 years of DNA Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

Watson and Crick discovered the double helix structure of DNA 50 years ago. Now we are on the verge of completely mapping the human genome.

...nanobacteria?!

And 50 years of DNA sounds like a good way of celebrating someone 49.25th year birthday!

Well it is all very nice to know the entire human genome, but the human genome isn't as simple as knowing the contents of a hard drive...we need to know about all the expression patterns, the complicated patterns of interaction of resulting proteins, and so on and so forth. How do they all interact to make the human being? That is the big conundrum, and will be a challenge for decades, perhaps centuries to come...

Well we already are of course...we need a lot of computing power to figure out some of these interactions...we have sufficient in some of the smaller organisms already, just a matter of scaling up...

Hmm, I wonder if there is any porn hidden on the human genome...
