THIS DAY IN HISTORY: 25 years ago today, the world got its first look at a human genome. UC Santa Cruz posted it online on behalf of the Human Genome Project, concluding a dramatic race to keep the genome free from patents and transform biomedicine 🧬🌎 .

TL;DR: If you've got an impossible project with an even more impossible deadline, call in the UC Santa Cruz "computer geeks." 🦹♀️💻🧬.
The first draft of the human genome was announced 25 years ago by President Bill Clinton — but behind the scenes of this scientific discovery was a little-known fierce and hostile competition. Liz Tung reports ⬇️ .

Not every bit of DNA helps a species survive. Parasite- like genetic elements called introns hide in DNA and make copies of themselves, and recent UCSC research has provided the first proof that they are able to hop from one species to another:
