Detailed explanation-1: -The Human Genome Project is an ambitious research effort aimed at deciphering the chemical makeup of the entire human genetic code (i.e., the genome). The primary work of the project is to develop three research tools that will allow scientists to identify genes involved in both rare and common diseases.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gene therapy began with the Human Genome Project. The Human Genome Project has found gene locations for many diseases. Among the diseases that have been found Huntington’s disease, cystic fibrosis, ADA deficiency, and two genes for breast cancer are just a few examples.
Detailed explanation-3: -Results: A number of disease genes have already been identified, leading to improved diagnosis and novel approaches to therapy. A new type of mutation, trinucleotide repeat expansion, has been found to be responsible for at least seven diseases with an unusual inheritance pattern.
