The scientists Francis Collins and Craig Venter, each with his team managed to map the human genome. This figure had about 3,100 million units of DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid), DNA, located in the cell nucleus is the substance that contains 80,000 genes, about where are the instructions of life. The discovery allows the study of the biology of genes and determining how they are linked to each other so that the human body can live. Is expected to detect the genetic components of many diseases that can be prevented and treated. Finally, this finding will enable the development of specific drugs for each patient, taking into account their genetic predisposition to certain diseases.

Of human chromosomes are made of DNA molecules that are divided into segments, which are introduced into a machine capable of reading your "letters" biochemical.

With a computer and read segments analyzed to discover the similarities between them and detect the adjacent points.

Once you have all the sequence, the scientists identified about 3% of the genes in the genome. This allows them to know which form proteins capable of creating disease.

The information contained in genes have been decoded, allowing science to know, through genetic testing that diseases may enter a person's life.
