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: -An individual’s genome is the complete set of these sequences. In the initial map, researchers discovered there were about 3 billion of these letter pairs in the human genome. Sections of five chromosomes were missing, mainly areas that contained a lot of repeated genetic letters.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Human Genome Project aimed to map the entire genome, including the position of every human gene along the DNA strand, and then to determine the sequence of each gene’s base pairs.
Detailed explanation-4: -The project showed that humans have 99.9% identical genomes, and it set the stage for developing a catalog of human genes and beginning to understand the complex choreography involved in gene expression.
