Actual Timeline of the Genome

Four Billion

Years Ago

The beginning of DNA is thought to be created by the aggregation of

simple molecules in the primordial swamp that existed on earth at thattime.

1850s Gregor Mendel, the father of modern genetics established the

principles of genetic inheritance by studying pea plants.

1900 Thomas Hunt Morgan, American geneticist discovered the basics of

dominant and recessive traits and links on a chromosome. Awarded

the Nobel Prize.

1950 Barbara McClintock, the worlds most distinguished cytogeneticist,

discovered that chromosomes exchange information by jumping

genes.

April 2003 The Human Genome Project, a full map of our genetic code, is

completed for $2.7 billion in th

irteen years.

December 2005 The Cancer Genome Atlasa three-year, $100 million pilot project to

explore the genetic connections to canceris launched.

May 2007 James Watson's whole genome is sequenced at a cost of less than $1

million dollars.

September 2007 Craig Venter publishes the results ofhis own sequenced genome.

October 6, 2009 IBM announces plans to bring the cost of DNA sequencing to as low

as $100, making a personal genome cheaper than a ticket to a

Broadway play.
