yes, so the smallest organism set of genes was sequenced in 1995, mycoplasma was a little over 500 genes. the goal is and the problem in this whole field is our fundamental knowledge of biology is so limited that we don't know what about 20% of the genes can do. so, it's trying to do a design when you don't know what 20% of the parts do. all that you know is they are absolutely necessary. i told you the story when i was in seattle on part of my book tour. my late uncle who was part of the boeing design team for the 767. he said, imagine if they didn't know what 20% of the parts did. what makes you think that we knew? >> this is kind an interesting idea. you take the genes that you've chosen. do you think these are the ones necessary for life? you shoot one of them and then you say, are they still alive? you shoot another one, is it still alive? you shoot another one, is it still alive? so where are you now in the gallery? >> i think, so the problem in that method -- and that is a pretty good description of what we've done -- it turns out that it's important for life and there's little pa

the smallest set of genes is what we sequenced in 1995. it has little over 500 genes. the goal is, and the problem with this whole field is, our fundamental knowledge of elegy is so limited that we don't know what about 2% of the genes can do. -- about 20% of the genes can do. it is like trying to design when you don't know what 20% of the parts do, just that they are necessary. my late uncle, who was part of the boeing design team on the 757 said, imagine if boeing did not know what 27% of the parts did. he said, what makes you think we did?

so the concept is actually that you take a normal copy of a gene or a healthy copy of gene and you bringhose patients' cells and by doing so, you're able to potentially correct the underlying basis of the disease. so the idea is that if you can deliver that to the patient, there's a potential for the patient to then correct what they need to do on potentially on a long-lasting basis if not on a curative basis that's the promise behind gene therapy. if you think of what we're doing in a first area that we're working in is is this area of inherited blindness. where there's more than 200 different genes that account play a role in normal retinal health. so we're working on the first of those. we showed in earlier studies that we can restore functional vision in patients that have this type of inherited blindness. we are now in the middle of a fully enrolled phase three clinical trial in the second half of this year. i think people are excited about the potential of having seen the earlier data and now seeing the readout in the second half of the year and we can talk about where we'll take t
