When Eugene Chan dropped out of Harvard Medical School in 1997 to start U.S. Genomics, his vision was to create a turbocharged DNA reader. Give the machine a drop of blood, and it would sequence your very own genome. That information would help doctors diagnose not only which disease you were suffering from, but which particular variety of the disease ...

When it comes to DNA, a human is closer to a chimpanzee than a mouse is to a rat. Yet tiny differences sprinkled throughout the genome have made all the difference, giving humans agriculture, language, art, music, technology and philosophy -- all the achievements that make us profoundly different. Until recently, there was no way to unravel these crucial differences, but that's rapidly changing.
