Genome mapping itself is hardly controversial. It's the applications of genome mapping that may, depending on the way its applied, generate controversy. For instance, some people may want to use genome mapping to preselect human embryos for fertilization, thereby gaining control over the physical characteristics of their future children - while other people are repelled by the notion and argue that nature should take its course.

Mapping all the genes on the human chromosome is called what?
This is the Human Genome Project. It was started in 1990 with the main goal being to determine the sequence of the base pairs which make up DNA, and to identify and map the thousands of genes of the human genome. It was completed in 2003. About 8% of the total genome remains unsequenced, because they did not study the entire DNA found in human cells.
What is the complete set genes of an individual?
genome
All of the DNA in each cell of the body is called the?
blueprint cell
What are all DNA in one cell of an organism?
DNA is found (usually) in each cell of an organism in the nucleus or in an area called a nucleoid.
What term is defined as a list of every nucleotide base for a species of organisms?
genome
What genetic mapping is?
genetic mapping is the mapping of genes to locations within a genome.
How can genetic research and mapping the human genomebe bad?
how can genetic research and mapping the human genome be bad?
What is the main emphasis of the human genome project?
gene mapping
Are scientists done mapping out genes?
Scientists have mapped the whole human genome but are still mapping other species genomes such as mice and worms
What is the most popular open-source genome mapping software?
Genebank, the website is : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Genbank/
What is the genome and when was it completed to 99 percent accuracy?
The Human Genome is the complete mapping of DNA and all genetic attributes concerning the human being. I do not believe that the Genome is completed to 99% accuracy yet and and going to guess, with the information that is discovered new everyday, that the Genome may never be 99% accurate.

How are computers used in mapping the human genome?
Computers are needed mainly after sequencing has already been done. Genome sequencing first breaks down the whole genome into small pieces which are sequenced independently. In order to rearrange all the pieces is the correct order computers with powerful statistical programs are used.
