Technician with rows of DNA thermocyclers

DNA replication. Technician with rows of thermocyclers used in research into the human genome at Celera Genomics, Maryland, USA, a rival to the Human Genome Project. Thermocyclers clone DNA using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Celera aims to sequence every gene in human DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) by 2001. Human DNA is made up of some 30, 000 genes among over 3 billion base pairs. Celera sequences DNA fragments and uses supercomputers to put the pieces together. This is a cruder but faster method than that used by the publicly-funded Human Genome Project. The complete human genome map will allow improved drug design and a greater understanding of genetic diseases

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a dedicated technician surrounded by rows of DNA thermocyclers, symbolizing the groundbreaking research conducted at Celera Genomics in Maryland, USA. As a formidable rival to the Human Genome Project, Celera aims to unravel the mysteries of the human genome by sequencing every gene within our DNA structure before 2001. Utilizing polymerase chain reaction (PCR), these thermocyclers play a pivotal role in cloning DNA fragments. With over 30,000 genes and more than 3 billion base pairs comprising human DNA, this ambitious endeavor requires cutting-edge technology and immense computational power. Celera employs supercomputers to meticulously assemble these fragmented sequences into a comprehensive map of the entire human genome. While considered cruder compared to its publicly-funded counterpart, the Human Genome Project, Celera's approach is undeniably faster. This accelerated pace promises significant advancements in drug design and an enhanced comprehension of genetic diseases once we possess a complete understanding of our genetic blueprint. The photograph encapsulates both the complexity and excitement surrounding this revolutionary field of study. It emphasizes how scientists tirelessly work behind-the-scenes with state-of-the-art equipment like thermocyclers to unlock humanity's most profound secrets encoded within our DNA strands. Science Photo Library beautifully captures this pivotal moment in biochemistry and biotechnology history through their lens – showcasing innovation that will shape future generations' health and well-being while expanding horizons for scientific discovery.
