Introduction The Human Genome Project is aimed to provide complete nucleotide sequence and gene map of the genome. The feasibility of the project was discussed as early as 1985, the initial programme began in 1990 and, by June 2000, 90% of the genome had been mapped. The process was completed and the first draft published early in 2001.Using the sequence biologists are gaining a better understanding of the genome itself, identifying new genes, working out how they are controlled, and discovering what products they code for. The sequence also helps in research into the role of genes in disease and the development of new diagnostic techniques and treatments. How the Human Genome was sequenced The average human gene is now known to consist of about 3000 bases, but sizes vary greatly. Since the size of human genome is enormous, so to overcome this problem, 1. The genome is digested and the DNA cut...
