Human Genome Project's goal is :
- Identify all genes in human DNA.
- Determine the sequences of the chemical base pairs that make up human DNA.
- Then store all researched information in databases.
- Improve tools for data analysis.
- Transfer related technologies to the private sector.
- Address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.
Before achives these goals , they studied genetic makeup of non-human organisms that include the common human gut bacterium : the fruit fly and the laboratory mouse.
BENEFIT :
-With the fast developments in genome science, the Human Genome Project is considered an important project that allows for the discovery of disease-carrying genes.
-Allows scientist to understand the genes' functions and their effects on many common and complex diseases
