It is difficult to believe that the relatively new field of genetics has developed to point where it can translate the billions of base-pairs in human DNA into biological functions. However, by looking at the discoveries made in the last forty years and the logic researchers use to determine a specific gene's function, we can be confident in the accuracy of DNA analysis. Also looking at the possible societal impacts DNA analysis might have in the next couple years, the importance of promoting genetic research and supporting DNA analysis is obvious.
