Detailed explanation-1: -The Human Genome Project is an international research project whose primary mission is to decipher the chemical sequence of the complete human genetic material (i.e., the entire genome), identify all 50, 000 to 100, 000 genes contained within the genome, and provide research tools to analyze all this genetic information.
Detailed explanation-2: -The shotgun phase of the Human Genome Project itself consisted of three steps: Obtaining a DNA clone to sequence. Sequencing the DNA clone. Assembling sequence data from multiple clones to determine overlap and establish a contiguous sequence.
Detailed explanation-3: -The human genome has approximately 3.1 billion base pairs. The Human Genome Project was started in 1990 with the goal of sequencing and identifying all base pairs in the human genetic instruction set, finding the genetic roots of disease and then developing treatments. It is considered a megaproject.
