 Describe the important goals of human genome project.

Answer:  The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international, collaborative scientific project whose goal was to map and comprehend all of humanity’s genes completely. Our “genome” refers to the collection of all of our genes.

Researchers at the Human Genome Project deciphered the human genome in three ways: determining the order, or “sequence,” of all the bases in our genome’s DNA; creating maps that show the locations of genes for major sections of all our chromosomes; and creating linkage maps, which allow inherited traits (such as those associated with genetic disease) to be tracked across generations.

The Human Genome Project’s principal goals were first outlined by a special committee of the United States National Academy of Sciences in 1988, and were later adopted through a detailed series of five-year plans produced jointly by the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy.
