The Human Genome Project started in 1990. Scientists approximated 15 years for it to be completed, and they finished it two years earlier, in 2005. The project was made to determine base pairs that make up our DNA and to be able to identify, as well as all 20,000 to 25,000 genes in the human genome. Basically, genome is the entire DNA in an organism, which contains all the genes. Our DNA carries the information that figures our look, how we fight infections, and sometimes how we behave.  Some uses of the Human Genome Project and resources are already having bigger encounter on research across life sciences. Some current and potential applications of the research include: Molecular medicine, Energy sources and environmental applications, Risk assessment, Bioarchaeology, anthropology, evolution, and human migration, DNA forensics (identification), and Agriculture, livestock breeding, and bioprocess. |
The Human Genome Project had many goals. They were all met and accomplished. The Human Genome Project was finished two years earlier than it was suppose to because of the advances in technology. The chemical base pairs that make up our DNA were determined, the information was stored in a data, the tools for data analysis were developed and the ethical and legal issues were transmitted. The great thing about The Human Genome Project is that it wasn’t a waste of time and a lot of good can come out of it. We learned from The Human Genome Project scientists can find new ways to improve drugs. New energy causes can also come from the information that was learned from The Human Genome Project and farmers can also account from this information. With all this information we would be able to see how DNA mutations happen and answer some questions about change.
