After a massive five-year, $288 million effort, scientists have published a study detailing the complex relationship between regulatory proteins, RNA, and gene expression.

The human genome was officially completed back in 2003 and revealed that only about 1.5 percent of our genome is responsible for proteins that play an important role in cell function.

"Until now, we had only the nucleotide sequence," said Stanford geneticist Michael Snyder, PhD, one of the study's leaders."Now we have the beginnings of a regulatory network, or wiring diagram, for a human being. This global overview will help us understand how changes in the genome cause disease, and also to see how an individual's unique genetic code may affect his or her health in meaningful ways."
