Geneticist Marjolein Kriek poses on top of a printout of her "DNA sequence map" at the Leid's Medical Centre in Leiden May 29, 2008. Kriek, 34, is only the fifth person to have their genetic information mapped for scientific study, and says it was high time women took part in mapping the human genome. The Dutch geneticist has become the first woman to have her DNA mapped -- a process that is rapidly becoming faster and cheaper as equipment and techniques improve. (Xinhua/Reuters Photo)
