Popis: In 1954, the seminal short paper in the Nature from James Watson and Francis Crick proposed the double helix model of deoxyribose nucleic acid. This amateur-looking concept changed the way molecular biology is now perceived. We are now celebrating the 70 years of the phenomenon discovery of the modern science that has revolutionized life sciences with a huge impact on many other related scientific disciplines. Fifty years later, the Human Genome Project offered the nearly complete draft sequence of the human genome that is now fully sequenced in the 70th year of the double helix. Technological advances have led to a rapid reduction in the cost of whole genome sequencing. It is now possible for anyone to get the personal genome sequenced for
