Detailed explanation-1: -Summary: The DNA sequence of the Human Genome is now freely accessible to all, for public or private use, from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

Detailed explanation-2: -The Human Genome Project identified the full set of human genes, sequenced them all, and identified some of the alleles, particularly those that can cause disease when they get mutated. Genes can be mapped relative to physical features of the chromosome, or relative to other genes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The GenBank/EMBL data bank stores and distributes DNA sequence information. GenBank in the United States and the EMBL data bank in the Federal Republic of Germany share the task of recording, annotating, and distributing all the DNA sequence data published, regardless of the species of origin.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Human Genome Project, completed in 2003, covered about 92% of the total human genome sequence. The technologies to decipher the gaps that remained didn’t exist at the time. But scientists knew that the last 8% likely contained information important for fundamental biological processes.
