Due to widespread international cooperation and advances in the field of genomics (especially in sequence analysis), as well as major advances in computing technology, a 'rough draft' of the genome was finished in 2000 (announced jointly by U.S. President Bill Clinton and the British Prime Minister Tony Blair on June 26, 2000).
Debido á estensa cooperación internacional e aos avances no campo da xenómica (especialmente na análise de secuencias), e aos grandes avances na tecnoloxía da computación, finalizouse un primeiro borrador do xenoma en 2000 (anunciado polo presidente norteamericano Bill Clinton e o primeiro ministro británico Tony Blair o 26 de xuño de 2000).
