Question

4. How many years took for the completion of HGP? Name the companies and
countries involved in HGP.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Human Genome Project was a 13-year-long, publicly funded project initiated in 1990 with the objective of determining the DNA sequence of the entire euchromatic human genome within 15 years.

Explanation:

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the base pairs that make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and a functional standpoint.[1] It remains the world's largest collaborative biological project.[2] Planning started after the idea was picked up in 1984 by the US government, the project formally launched in 1990, and was declared complete on April 14, 2003.[3]

All of these countries played an important role in the project, however, there were five main sites that sequenced the majority of the human genome. Nicknamed the ‘G5’, these were:

Broad Institute/Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research (MIT) in Cambridge, USA

Washington University in St Louis, USA

Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, USA

Department of Energy’s Joint Genome Institute in Walnut Creek, USA

Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (previously known as the Sanger Centre) in Cambridge, UK
