B
Human genome project
C
Human disease project
D
Human chromosome project
Explanation: 

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: -Along with sequencing the human genome, the Human Genome Project also involved sequencing the genomes of a number of other organisms, including yeast, E. coli, fruit flies, roundworms, and mice.

Detailed explanation-3: -The US side of the Human Genome Project was initially led by James Watson. The US side of the Human Genome Project was initially led by James Watson (one half of Crick and Watson, who discovered the structure of DNA?), and later by Francis Collins.
