2003: 50 Years of the Double Helix
The year 2003 marked two major milestones in genomics:
- Completion of the sequencing of the human genome
- 50th anniversary of the discovery of the DNA double helix
To mark these milestones, events took place around the world. Several
retrospective articles and compilations were also written.
