Today, on National DNA Day, we take a look through history to some of the iconic photographs taken throughout the journey to create and complete the Human Genome Project.
Check out the photographs below to see photos of some of the key players at BCM now and then, a look into the lab, and more. You’ll get a small glimpse into the hard work that went into the Human Genome Project as we celebrate the accomplishments of everyone involved in the project.
