Human_Genome_Project

Human Genome Project The Human Genome Project is a worldwide research effort with the goal of analyzing the structure of human DNA and determining the location of the estimated 100,000 human genes. The DNA of a set of model organisms will be studied to provide the information necessary for understanding the operation of the human genome. The information gathered by the human genome project is expected to be the source book for biomedical science in the twenty-first century and will be of great importance to the field of medicine. The project will help us to understand and eventually treat more than 4,000 genetic diseases that affect mankind. The scientific outcomes of the human genome project will include a resource of genomic maps and DNA sequence information that will provide detailed information about the structure, organization, and characteristics of human DNA, information that represents the basic set of inherited "instructions" for the development and performance of a human being. The Human Genome Project began in the mid 1980's and was widely looked at within the scientific community and public press through the last half of that decade.
