The successor to the Human Genome Project intends to establish, by international cooperation, an encyclopedic catalog of sequence variants indexed to the human genome sequence. Genomics is not ...

The Human Genome Project was an international research project that sequenced all of the genes found in humans. This ambitious project began in 1990 and concluded in 2003. One goal of the project ...

To date, the HMP has generated 3.5 terabytes - or 3.5 trillion bytes - of data, or more than 1000 times the amount produced by the original Human Genome Project. Researchers from the Department of ...

The project promises to generate controversy, as did its counterpart, the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP). The HGDP was developed in 1991 to map the genetic diversity of hundreds of human ...

Protein-coding versus noncoding genes When deciding the number of genes in the human genome, Human Genome Project researchers initially counted protein-coding genes—regions of chromosomal DNA that are ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Since it began in 1990, the Human Genome Project is estimated to have cost $3,000,000,000. The entire human genome requires three gigabytes of computer data storage space. (One million base pairs ...
