The Human Genome Project, the federally funded effort to decode the human genetic blueprint, announced Wednesday that it has successfully sequenced two-thirds of the estimated 3 billion chemicals that make up human DNA. The project predicted that it would have a “rough draft” that will include 90% of the genome with 99.9% accuracy by June, and the final, highly accurate version before 2003.
