The project proposed to sequence the three billion nucleotides in the human\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egenome. The Human Genome Project took 13 years and was completed in April 2003, at a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecost of approximately three billion dollars. It was a major scientific achievement that forever\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003echanged the understanding of our own nature. The sequencing of the human genome was in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emany ways a triumph for technology as much as it was for science. From the Human Genome\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProject, powerful technologies have been developed (e.g., microarrays and next generation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esequencing) and new branches of science have emerged (e.g., functional genomics and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epharmacogenomics), paving new ways for advancing genomic research and medical\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eapplications of genomics in the 21st century. The investigations have provided new tests and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edrug targets, as well as insights into the basis of human development and diagnosis\/treatment\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof cancer and several mysterious humans diseases. This genomic revolution is prompting a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enew era in medicine, which brings both challenges and opportunities. Parallel to the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003epromising advances over the last decade, the study of the human genome has also revealed\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehow complicated human biology is, and how much remains to be understood. The legacy of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe understanding of our genome has just begun. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eessential completion of the Human Genome Project, in April 2013 Genes launched this\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecial Issue, which highlights the recent scientific breakthroughs in human genomics, with a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecollection of papers written by authors who are leading experts in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Burn, James R.
