Two Scientific Teams jointly announced in June that their researchers, working separately, had deciphered the human genetic code. Elation in the scientific community and extensive media coverage signaled the importance of their accomplishment for the capabilities of medical science in the third millennium. Human biology processes, conditions and even behaviors and mental states linked to biology is promised by this advance. The accomplishment opens to the prevention or treatment of disease and the improvement of human health and capabilities. Genomics will soon revolutionize the practice of medicine and extend the average human life span beyond 90 years.
