The Human Genome Project – Through a concerted and coordinated global effort, scientists completed the sequencing of all 3 billion base pairs that comprise the DNA in a human body in 2003, exactly 50 years after James Watson and Francis Crick first described the double helix structure of DNA. Success was only made possible by the sharing of data/pieces of discovery that began in the 1990s and accelerated after agreement on the Bermuda Principles for data sharing in 1996. The Human Genome Project has already fueled the discovery of more than 1,800 disease genes and the affordable sequencing of an individual’s DNA for medical purposes is within sight.
TDA offers the potential for the same level of discovery and impact - the potential to dramatically reduce the extent to which language is a barrier to communication. We invite you to join TDA for the benefit of your business, your customers, commerce and society.
