        The first synthetic cells are produced
        
        The goal behind the research was be able to produce bacteria quickly so that it could be used as biofuels, and to reduce the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and even create vaccines for treating diseases.
        
        The Human Genome Project is completed
        
        This was the sequencing of all the human genes and it also found and developed ways to analyse the data and make it more widely available
        
        Dolly the sheep is born
        
        This showed scientists that whole mammals could be cloned which meant that animals with therapeutic proteins in their milk could be cloned and be used to treat human diseases
        
        GM tomatoes are available to buy
        
        This showed that plants could be genetically modified to become resistant to certain diseases and to have a longer shelf-life
      - Human insulin is first produced by GM bacteria
        
        This meant that diabetics now did not have to inject themselves with another animal's insulin but could use human insulin which would mean that those who injected the insulin would now feel fewer side-effects
    - - This was the first time that someone had ever managed to clone a whole organism
