" Human Genome Project i.e. HGP is an international research work and project. The major aim behind the project was mapping, pattern, format and deeper understanding of all the genes of human beings.
All the genes together of a human being are referred to as genomes. It was a study and continuation of the history of the genetic researches and the pattern followed and the very functional aspect of the genome.
As for the future challenges, the project is quiet hi-tech, wide and complex project in itself and requires specific expertise for the study of the field and proper understanding.
This would involve engagement of lots of people and that too with varied expertise in the field for effective results and work on the project.
Another challenge would be it would involve engagement of huge amount of resources, money and advanced technology as for the working and smooth functioning of the project."
