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?
The Human Genome Initiative is a worldwide research effort that has the goal of analyzing the sequence of human DNA and determining the location of all human genes. Most civilians fear a government identification database and that project has also been heavily criticised by geneticists and anthropologists.
Outcomes of the Human Genome Project:
1. The ability to locate genes responsible for human genetic diseases.
2. The Development of Gene Therapy.
Genetic duplication, or cloning, has generated a great deal of controversy.
to identify all the gene in the hnman DNA
Yes, the United States founded the Human Genome Project in the 1990's.
to identify the 3 billion genes that comprise the human genome
The Human Genome Project
The Human Genome Project's purpose is to analyze and map the entire human genome -- that is, to determine all the genes that are involved in human biology. They're doing this to correlate genes to the traits they influence so that the genes (or lack thereof) responsible for disease can be identified.
There are estimated to be 26000 genes after completing the human genome project.
The Human Genome Project. I would like to dedicate this answer to Trinity School! -God Bless-
To identify every human gene.<==== nova net answer.
the human genome project helpes many different cancers
The United States government through the National Institute of Health and the Department of Energy took part in an international research project to map the human genome. The project was completed in 2003. The National Institute of Health's Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications Program is the model for the ethical issues of the project.
To "map" the entire genome of the human. The main goals of the Human Genome Project were to provide a complete and accurate sequence of the 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome and to find all of the estimated 20,000 to 25,000 human genes. The Project also aimed to sequence the genomes of several other organisms that are important to medical research, such as the mouse and the fruit fly. In addition to sequencing DNA, the Human Genome Project sought to develop new tools to obtain and analyze the data and to make this information widely available. Also, because advances in genetics have consequences for individuals and society, the Human Genome Project committed to exploring the consequences of genomic research through its Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) program.

James Watson was hired to head the Human Genome project for the NIH. He headed the project from 1988 until 1992.
The Human Genome Project is an international effort to map and sequence all the DNA base pairs of the human genome. It's also an effort to identify the all the genes and the protein/trait that they code for in the human genome. ============================================== The Human Genome Project studies the human chromosomes to determines which genes are involved in what aspects of the human body reproduction, growth, functioning, and health intending to produce a map of the DNA structure, what it does, and how.
