To identify every human gene.<==== nova net answer.
Which cancers does the human genome project help?
the human genome project helpes many different cancers
Was the US responsible for the human genome project?
Yes, the United States founded the Human Genome Project in the 1990's.
Which is a goal of the Human Genome Project?
to identify the 3 billion genes that comprise the human genome
What important project did celera genomics?
The Human Genome Project
What information cannot be obtained from the Human Genome Project?
whether an allele is dominant or recessive
What is goal of the Human Genome 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.
How many human genome project that a human have?
46 chromosomes
Who did NIH hire in 1988 to head the human genome project?
James Watson was hired to head the Human Genome project for the NIH. He headed the project from 1988 until 1992.
What is the Human Genome Project-?
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.
How was the government involved in the human genome project?
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.
What is Francis Collins well known for?
Francis Collins is primarily known for his leadership of the Human Genome Project. This project established a definitive outline of the human genome, highlighting the location of all genes on the chromosomes. The project also sequenced the entire human genome, producing a full DNA sequence for a human.
