Eli Roberson, Assistant Professor of Genomics and Medicine at Washington University School of Medicine, remembers attending a talk in high school where someone discussed what would happen once the Human Genome Project (HGP) was complete.  This sparked his interest in human genetics because he believed once we had this "map", we would be able to apply it to different areas of medicine.

October 1, 2020, marks the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Human Genome Project.  Prominent members of the genomics community have joined NHGRI in commemorating and celebrating this occasion by taking their own selfie videos.
