Success In Homo sapiens Genome Mapping -- A Great Acheiment During Last Decade


It was during April 2003 that the scientists of International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium (IHGSQ) announced the completion of Homo sapiens genome sequencing. This happened 50 years after the publication of double helical structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick. The sequencing project was conceived during 1985. For the thousand of the people throughout the world who have played part in the project over the last 15-20 years, generating the maps and sequencing this large (3,000,000,000 base) genome, the success of the project has been a tribute to international cooperation. The success in this research of the human complex genetic system that contains 20000 -25000 genes, is a great achievement during the past decade. Now, the medical doctors hope that the scientists will be able to succeed for developing the treatment of cancer and other fatal diseases.
One of the important events of the last decade of the present century was attacking and occupying Iraq by the USA and its 30 Allies on March 20, 2003. The were protests and taking out of procession against this aggression through out the world. In this regard a rally in Rome, Italy was taken out on February 15, 2003 that consisted of 0.3 million people. This rally was the largest ever in the world and Guinea's Book of World Record saved it in the human history as the most longest rally against the war. The Allied Forces destroyed the Center of Knowledge and old civilization. Saddam Hussein was arrested on December 13, 2003 and was hanged on December 30, 2006. The hanging of Saddam Hussain was a unique event because no head of the state has been sentenced during the war, in the world. To benefit from the oil wealth of Iraq the USA constituted a puppet government during 2005. Though on August 31, 2010 the war seems to end with the return of USA's military but on the name of reconstruction of Iraq, Iraqi Nation has been put into unending chain of troubles.
