Question

What is meant by human genome project? Tell in an elaborate manner.

Answer 1

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was one of the great feats of exploration in history - an inward voyage of discovery rather than an outward exploration of the planet or the cosmos; an international research effort to sequence and map all of the genes - together known as the genome - of members of our species,Homo sapiens. Completed in April 2003, the HGP gave us the ability, for the first time, to read nature's complete genetic blueprint for building a human being.In this section, you will find access to a wealth of information on the history of the HGP, its progress, cast of characters and future.
