Researchers sequencing human DNA in a laboratory
Human genome research. Researchers carrying out DNA sequencing at the Joint Genome Institute (JGI). Computers sit between the large automated sequencers. The JGI is part of the international Human Genome Project (HUGO) that aims to map the entire human genome, the three billion base pairs that form human DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), by 2003. DNA fragments, copied using PCR (polymerase chain reaction) equipment, are sequenced to find the order of their bases. HUGO will allow the genetic cause of many diseases to be discovered. The JGI, in Walnut Creek, California, is a collaboration between three of the US Department of Energys National Laboratories

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the groundbreaking work of researchers at the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) as they delve into the intricate world of human DNA sequencing. The laboratory is abuzz with activity, with scientists meticulously carrying out their experiments amidst a sea of cutting-edge technology. The image showcases a harmonious blend of man and machine, as computers stand tall between large automated sequencers. This collaboration epitomizes the marriage between human intellect and technological advancements in our quest to unravel the mysteries hidden within our genetic makeup. The JGI's involvement in the international Human Genome Project (HUGO) takes center stage here. With an ambitious goal to map all three billion base pairs that constitute human DNA by 2003, HUGO aims to revolutionize our understanding of genetics and pave the way for groundbreaking discoveries related to various diseases. PCR equipment plays a crucial role in this process, allowing researchers to copy DNA fragments before subjecting them to sequencing techniques that unveil their precise order of bases. Through these efforts, HUGO holds immense potential for uncovering genetic causes behind numerous ailments that plague humanity. Situated in Walnut Creek, California, JGI represents a remarkable collaboration among three prestigious US Department of Energy National Laboratories. Their collective expertise fuels progress in biochemistry and biotechnology while propelling us closer towards unlocking nature's blueprint - our very own genome. This awe-inspiring photograph from Science Photo Library encapsulates both scientific ingenuity and tireless dedication as researchers strive towards decoding life's greatest
