The complete sequence of human DNA is complete and the Human Genome Project is over, according to Francis Collins, director of the US National Human Genome Research Institute and head of the consortium of 16 international institutions that collaborated to sequence the code.
“The raw sequence is freely available on the web. But researchers will have to wait up to a year for the first analysis of it.”
