It s the map of all genes and genetic material that make up a human being.
Publication puts the formal scientific stamp of approval on finished research.
And the scientists from both groups have been making their data available since. Neither group considers its work complete. What was announced last summer was the completion of a working draft of the genome, covering about 90 percent of the map. That is far fewer than most scientists had expected. To compare, a fruit fly has 13,000 genes.
