The unveiling of the map of the human genome signals the dawning of the post-genomics age. New technologies and information are rapidly converging to change the way we do science and the way science will impact our culture. Some of these developments include the sequencing of the chromosomal content of an entire organism, high throughput strategies to identify genes whose patterns of expression change in response to the needs of the organism, and advances in the visualization of the proteins that are encoded by the genes.
