The Human Genome Project
360 wordsThe Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international research effort to chart and characterize the human genome; the entire package of genetic instructions for a human being. That entails laying out, in order the 3 billion DNA letters (or base pairs) of the full human genetic code. The Human Genome Project began in 1990. It was originally planned to take 15 years to complete but because of technological advance it should be complete by the year 2003. The eight goals of the project include decipher...

The Human Genome Project
727 wordsA genome is all the DNA in an organism, including its genes. Genes carry information for making all the proteins required by all organisms. These proteins determine, among other things, how the organism looks, acts, processes and fights infections. DNA is made up of four similar chemicals (bases, adenine , Thymine
, cytosine , and guanine ) that are repeated millions or billions of times throughout a genome. The human genome has three billion base pairs. The order of these base pairs...

History Of The Human Genome Project
1,354 wordsThe Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international research effort to decipher the entire human genome and understand the unique hereditary instructions that each person possesses. The HGP is a jointly funded project by the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with additional research done by the National (NHGRI). The project, launched in 1990, was originally planned to last 15 years, but rapid advances in technology have accelerated the expected completio...

History Of The Human Genome Project
1,310 words... ene. Since the bases constitute the code letters, which direct what amino acids are incorporated in to a protein, changes in the bases of DNA often result in substantial changes of protein function. Sequencing Many of the bases in DNA do not code for any protein and are not part of genetic information. Most of the DNA in the human genome does not seem to have any function and is referred to as junk DNA. In fact, it is often said looking for genes is like trying to find a needle in a haystack...

The project will allow pharmaceutical companies to produce more effective drugs, and doctors will be able to prescribe these drugs based on ones DNA. Medical records will include our complete genome and will allow for an accurate prediction by doctors as to our responses to certain drugs. These predictions by doctors will help to antic...

Human Genome Project U S Department
689 wordsHuman Genome Project (HGP) is a scientific project, coordinated by U. S. Department of Energy and National Institute of Health. It started in 1993 and was completed in 2003. Projects main goals were: identification of genes in human DNA, determining DNA chemical sequences and storing information in HGP database, which is accessible to general public at projects website. The information that is found there can be divided in 5 categories: HGP information, scientific research database, related publ...

Human Genome Project Mayo Clinic
696 wordsI ll be the first to admit it, I m a skeptic of the worst kind; it s just my nature, I guess. So, I guess it goes without saying that I m not impressed with all the recent hype about the Human Genome Project. People have gone so far as to hail the HGP as the cure for all of mankind s ails. Even with advance technology that allows scientists to map the genome sequence of a human being, we have failed to find a cure the common cold. And yet, scientists feel confident that the tools needed to treat...
