[0:41] headquarters in New York good evening

[0:44] history will mark this day as a

[0:46] milestone in medicine and science

[0:48] researchers have decoded the human

[0:50] genome that's the sequence of billions

[0:53] of DNA fragments that are the recipe for

[0:56] humankind this breakthrough knowledge

[0:58] about our genes is expected to

[1:00] revolutionize the diagnosis treatment

[1:03] and prevention of disease it also raises

[1:06] questions about what is medically

[1:08] possible desirable and ethical cbs's

[1:11] in-depth coverage begins with Elizabeth

[1:34] it's called the human genome

[1:37] terms of genetic

[1:40] genetic we develop as human beings

[1:43] comes with instructions on what function

[1:46] it should perform from building bones to

[1:48] muscle to skin and hair those genetic

[1:51] instructions found in our DNA are

[1:53] scrambled together in a four-letter
