Their goal is to obtain the DNA sequence of the 3 billion DNA subunits present in humans by year 2003, so that they can cure many diseases. The non-coding DNA are known as introns . The coding DNA are known as exons , since they produce proteins . The laboratory helped detectives in the United States and around the world identify many dogs that attacked humans. Clues from the attacks are collected and the DNA is extracted and compared to the DNA taken from blood samples of suspected animals.
