Detailed explanation-1: -The goal of the International HapMap Project is to determine the common patterns of DNA sequence variation in the human genome and to make this information freely available in the public domain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Whereas the sequencing project covered the entire genome, including the 99.9% of the genome where we are all the same, the HapMap will characterize the common patterns within the 0.1% where we differ from each other.
Detailed explanation-3: -The International HapMap Consortium has published analyses of its second-generation map of human genetic variation, which contains more than 3.1 million genetic variants. The improved HapMap will help researchers find DNA variants that influence the risk of disease and other traits.
