Scientists Announce DNA Mapping
(AP) - In what was called ``an historic point in the 100,000-year record of humanity,'' scientists announced that the human genetic code essentially has been deciphered, a monumental achievement that opens a dramatic new frontier in medicine. Leaders of competing public and private efforts said at a White House ceremony Monday that they have virtually completed assembly of what they called ``the book of life'' - nature's genetic instruction manual for making and maintaining human beings.
