Genomics Milestones
1990
Project Launch
International Human Genome Project officially launched, aiming to map all human DNA over 15 years.
2003
92% Working Draft Completed
HGP declared completion of the euchromatic genome (~92% coverage), leaving complex heterochromatic gaps.
2022
100% Gapless Sequence (T2T-CHM13)
The Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium published the first truly complete, gapless 3.055-billion-base-pair human genome.
