Editorial

Fifty years of the double helix

This April it will be 50 years since the discov-ery of the double helical structure of DNA byJim Watson and Francis Crick. Since then, thegenomes of a wide range of bacteria, archaea,viruses and several eukaryotes have been entirelydecoded, and the human genome is fast approach-ing completion.

This issue illustrates the diversity of the field ofgenomics, which was born out of their discovery.It highlights work on a range of bacteria, plants

and animals, using a host of technologies that havearisen since the discovery of the structure of DNA.

Comparative and Functional Genomics wouldlike to join with the biological research communityin congratulating Watson and Crick, once more, ontheir crucial discovery and in celebrating the greatstrides that have been made in our understandingof genes and genomes since then.
