In 1995 The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission had added protection to people with disabilities under under the Americans with Disabilities Act to cover citizens with disabilities with generic information. -
1996: International Strategy Meeting on Human Genome Sequencing
Many scientists gathered from all different places in the world to discuss human genome sequencing. They shared strategies and discuss when the date should be released to the public. -
1997: Recommendations on Genetic Testing
Task Force on Genetic Testing reviewed genetic testing and the quality. They declared that safe testing should be done in laboratories and done my someone who is a health care provider, they didn’t talk about certain tests but looked into if the test would be safe and affective before released to the public. -
1998: HGP Map Included 30,000 Human Genes
A gene map was release by HGP researchers that included 30,000 human genes, which represented one third of total human genes. -
1999: Full-scale Human Genome Sequencing
HGP participants advanced their obtaining goal of obtaining draft sequence covering 90 percent of the human genome to 2000, this was a year and a nod before projected previously. Then full human scale sequencing genome began. -
2000: Free Access to Genomic Information
President Clinton and Prime minister Tony Blair started that fundamental data about human genome sequences and variations should be free to the public. -
2001: First Draft of the Human Genome Sequence Released
The Human Genome Project international consortium had published first draft and initial analysis of the human genome sequence. The draft covered 90 percent of the human genome and the estimated number of genes was lower than expected. Now the data is released to the public and can be viewed freely, it’s also referred as a biology moonshot. -
2002: Researchers Find Genetic Variation Associated with Prostate Cancer
A gene was identified on Chromosome 1, that associated with a hereditary form of prostate cancer. Researchers had studied people with this type of cancer, and had identified people with regions of chromosomes 1, 17, 20, and X as being associated with the higher risk. But this gene didn’t cause for many cautions. Even with this discovery it can lead to a useful diagnostic test and allow mean to seek treatment sooner. -
2003: The First National DNA Day Celebrated
The Congress passed a resolution setting aside April 25th as National DNA Day. The day was chosen to make the 50th anniversary because of the landmark paper by Francis Crick and James Watson which described the double helix DNA and the recent official completion of the Human Genome Project. Many celebrations happen this day. -
