What is a genome?

What is the human genome project and what’s its aim?

A genome is all of the base sequences in an organism's DNA (the letter). In other words, the genome is the whole of the genetic information of an organism.

The human genome project is an international cooperation project created to sequence the complete human genome

Who created the human genome project?

Identification: The number, position, scale, and sequence of human genes have all been determined in the human genome project.Development: This has enabled the development of unique gene probes for detecting genetic disorder sufferers and carriers. Medicine: The discovery of different proteins which resulted in better treatments (rational drug design ) Bloodline: Comparisons with other genomes also revealed information about human evolution and history.

An international team of scientists set out the human genome project in which they were able to find the entire base sequence of human genes and found out that they were made up of over 3 billion letters. They then made all their findings public in 2003 which was an advantage to a lot of scientists and researchers.

What are the benefits of the human genome project?

Note that:

The human genome is made up of:- 46 chromosomes - ~21,000 genes - ~3 billion base pairs.

This has been an advantage in making the information available to researchers to aid with the following:Identifying genes and genetic diseases (more research) Development of gene probes to help detect suffers and carriers of genetic diseases (ex: sickle cell anemia) Additionally, thanks to the human genome project it has been possible to determine what type of molecules healthy individuals make and what genes make up those molecules. Along with how to copy these genes to distribute those healthy molecules to sick people to help them.
