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 ...

The genetic information in an organism is called its genome. The Human Genome Project, or HGP for short, was started at the end of the last century. It was very ambitious and had several aims ...

Thanks to the Human Genome Project, researchers have sequenced all 3.2 billion base pairs in the human genome. How did researchers complete this chromosome map years ahead of schedule? Initial ...

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 ...

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 ...

Thirty years out from the start of the Human Genome Project, researchers have finally finished sequencing the full 3 billion bases of a person’s genetic code. But even a complete reference genome has ...

Chances are you've seen an illustration of DNA's double-helix structure and even pictures of the chromosomes that comprise the human genome. But where and how does the famous double helix fit into ...
