Human Genome Project
Human Genome Project was the world’s largest collaborative biological project that gave us the ability to examine the full genetic manual for creating a human being in nature. HGP was international scientific research that mainly aims to determine the base pairs that make human DNA, as well as the identification, mapping, and sequencing of every gene in the human genome, both physically and functionally. The entire 3.3 billion base pair human genome was sequenced as part of a project that was successfully finished in 2003.
