Researchers have sequenced the genome of the killer disease that is driving the remaining wild population of Tasmanian devils towards extinction.
Researchers in Cambridge have deciphered the genetic code of the gorilla - which is the last group of great apes to be sequenced.
Researchers decipher the gorilla's genetic code, which should help science answer questions about the development of human abilities.
Researchers publish the complete genome of the 5,300-year-old Oetzi, the "Iceman", revealing his eye colour, blood type and a number of his ailments.
 A biotechnology company announced it has developed a machine to decode an individual's DNA in a day for $1,000 US, a long-sought price goal for making the genome useful for medical care.
