U.S. researchers have been slow to perform the genetic sequencing that will help clarify the situation

He has been a fixture in San Diego science for decades

Twenty years ago, President Bill Clinton announced completion of what was arguably one of the greatest advances of the modern era: the first draft sequence of the human genome.

The human genome is 99% decoded, the American geneticist Craig Venter announced two decades ago. What has the deciphering brought us since then?

As the science advances, policy-makers and regulators need to develop responses that reflect the latest developments and the diversity of approaches and applications.
