Two different teams of researchers worked on what we now know as the Human Genome Project
What they achieved was a list of how the combination of 4 letters used in genetics details how people ( humans) are assembled. One reason they did the research is the list of things-that-go-wrong-with-people / genetic diseases could not be fully understood without understanding the genome of humans
Since then the genetic code of a long list of other animals has enabled medicine to find cures for otherwise incurable conditions

∙ 14y agoThe Human Genome Project has provided scientists with the knowledge of over 99% of the base sequence of the genome. This information has provided the key to a new field of study called genomics. The project has also provided more accurate information about genetics such as knowing that genes are about 3,000 bases long and have around 2.4 million bases, humans have between 25,000-35,000 genes, genes generate millions of different proteins and humans are 99.99% genetically indentical.

What goal of the human genome has been achieved?
To map & sequence all of the DNA base pairs of the human chromosomes.
What are the disadvantages to human genome project?
the only negative to it that genome studies are so vast it will take many years of study to fairly understand this well. provided in the related links box is a good link to read about the human genome project
How long did they think it would take to complete the human genome?
Yes, in 1996, with over 5000 gene markers, and over 200 genes shown to be associated with certain diseases. The HUGO (Human Genome Organization) monitors the activities surrounding this.
Do most of the complex phenotype we observe come from a single gene?
No. A phenotype is what we see. The Human Genome Project has revealed that there are probably about 20,000-25,000 protein coding genes. There are most likely thousands more that have not been identified.
How many genes are ona human chromosome?
In recent study it has been found that there are about 20,000 to 25,000 genes in our genome.Most of the sequences in our genome does not code for anything. Junk DNA or introns constitute about 90% of our genome.
What has been used to identify the DNA sequence of every human gene?
The Human Genome Project.

What are the implications of The Human Genome Project?
One controversy about the genome project has been the right of a commercial company to copyright a human genome that they discover the function of. How can a business have the right to be able to control access to a resource that was created by God by copyrighting a human gene? But If it takes huge amounts of cash to research the function of a gene how do we reward that effort without allowing the company to protect their investment?
What has succeeded in sequencing all human chromosomes?
by looking for overlapping regions between sequenced DNA fragments
What is the human genome project an attempt to do?
The Human Genome Project was the effort to identify the 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA. Once they had been identified they sequenced the 3 billion chemical base pairs that are present in human DNA, and stored this information in databases. This was a 13-year project that was completed in 2003. The Human Genome Project allowed scientists to better pinpoint genetic diseases and will help to find cures for these disorders.
What has been the human goal of the human genome projects?
to identify every human gene
How long did they think it would take to complete the human genome?
Yes, in 1996, with over 5000 gene markers, and over 200 genes shown to be associated with certain diseases. The HUGO (Human Genome Organization) monitors the activities surrounding this.
Genes make up about percent of DNA?
There has been a lot of research through the Human Genome Project to determine this. 1.5 percent of DNA in the body is made of Genes.
Do most of the complex phenotype we observe come from a single gene?
No. A phenotype is what we see. The Human Genome Project has revealed that there are probably about 20,000-25,000 protein coding genes. There are most likely thousands more that have not been identified.

What major historical events happened in 2000-2014?
There have been some big historical from 2000 to the present. For example Wikipedia's launch and 9/11 happened in 2001, the human genome project was completed in 2002, Facebook launched in 2004 and hurricane Katrina occurred in 2005.
