What is Human Genome Project
The Human Genome Project (HGP) is a project, undertaken with a goal to understand the genetic make-up of the human species, by identifying all the genes in the human genome, and mapping how individual genes are sequenced. The project began in 1990 involving scientists from more than 6 countries, 16 laboratories, more than 1,100 Bio-scientists and other technical experts worldwide. It was completed in 2003.
