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
What else can I help you with?
What goal of the human genome has been achieved?
To map & sequence all of the DNA base pairs of the human chromosomes.
How long did they think it would take to complete the human genome?
The Human Genome Project initially estimated it would take 15 years to complete the sequencing of the human genome when it began in 1990. However, the project was completed ahead of schedule in 2003, taking only 13 years to finish.
What was the human genome project What was its importance?
The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international scientific research initiative aimed at mapping and understanding all the genes of the human species, completed in 2003. It produced a reference sequence of the human genome, consisting of over 3 billion DNA base pairs, which has been instrumental in advancing our knowledge of genetics and human biology. The project's importance lies in its potential to enhance medical research, improve disease diagnosis and treatment, and pave the way for personalized medicine by providing insights into genetic disorders and variations among individuals.
Every human gene has been sequenced as a result of the what?
The Human Genome Project was responsible for sequencing the entire human genome, which includes all human genes. This project provided a complete map of human genetic material, enabling scientists and researchers to study and better understand human genetics and diseases.
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
What has been used to identify the DNA sequence of every human gene?
The Human Genome Project.
What has succeeded in sequencing all human chromosomes?
by looking for overlapping regions between sequenced DNA fragments
What goal of the human genome has been achieved?
To map & sequence all of the DNA base pairs of the human chromosomes.
How long did they think it would take to complete the human genome?

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 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?

Did I read that right when you said the project deadline has been extended by two weeks?
Yes, you read that correctly. The project deadline has been extended by two weeks.
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.
Genes make up about percent of DNA?
Genes make up about 1-2% of the total human DNA. The remaining DNA includes non-coding regions such as regulatory sequences, introns, and repetitive elements. These non-coding regions play important roles in gene regulation and genome stability.
