Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ultimately, the goal is that every person would be able to have their complete genome sequenced as part of their medical record, which would allow doctors to compare those sequences to reference ones and determine which variations might be contributing to specific diseases.
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.
