Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The Human Genome Project has helped with which of the following?
A
developing customized treatments for people with genetic disorders
B
diagnosing and treating diseases
C
better understanding of human genetic diseases
D
mapping where specific genes are located within the human genome
E
all of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The HGP benefited biology and medicine by creating a sequence of the human genome; sequencing model organisms; developing high-throughput sequencing technologies; and examining the ethical and social issues implicit in such technologies.

Detailed explanation-2: -These techniques will characterize DNA for family studies of disease, create genomic maps, determine the nucleotide sequence of genes and other large DNA fragments, identify genes, and enable extensive computer manipulations of genetic data.

Detailed explanation-3: -Increasingly detailed genome maps have aided researchers seeking genes associated with dozens of genetic conditions, including myotonic dystrophy, fragile X syndrome, neurofibromatosis types 1 and 2, inherited colon cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and familial breast cancer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Goals of the human genome project include: Optimization of the data analysis. Sequencing the entire genome. Identification of the complete human genome.
