THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT (HGP)

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was the international, collaborative research
program whose goal was the complete mapping and understanding of all the genes of
human beings. All our genes together are known as our "genome."

Human Genome Project

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project
coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of
Health. During the early years of the HGP, the Wellcome Trust (U.K.) became a major
partner; additional contributions came from Japan, France, Germany, China, and
others. Project goals were to

 identify all the approximately 20,500 genes in human DNA,

 determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up
human DNA,
 store this information in databases,
 improve tools for data analysis,
 transfer related technologies to the private sector, and
 address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the
project.
Though the HGP is finished, analyses of the data will continue for many years.

Human Genome Project (HGP), an international collaboration that successfully

determined, stored, and rendered publicly available the sequences of almost all the
genetic content of the chromosomes of the human organism, otherwise known as
the human genome.

The Human Genome Project (HGP), which operated from 1990 to 2003, provided
researchers with basic information about the sequences of the three billion chemical
base pairs (i.e., adenine [A], thymine [T], guanine [G], and cytosine [C]) that make up
human genomic DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The HGP was further intended to
improve the technologies needed to interpret and analyze genomic sequences, to
identify all the genes encoded in human DNA, and to address the ethical, legal, and
social implications that might arise from defining the entire human genomic sequence.
The work of the Human Genome Project has allowed researchers to begin to
understand the blueprint for building a person. As researchers learn more about the
functions of genes and proteins, this knowledge will have a major impact in the fields of
medicine, biotechnology, and the life sciences.
