Middle of paper
.... research and technical activities related to the
human genome. The initial planning process culminated in 1990 with the
publication of a joint research plan, ‘Understanding Out Genetic
Inheritance: The U.S. Human Genome Project the First Five Years FY 1991-
1995.' The goal of the HGP is to generate a series of tools that will
change biological research.
The complete nucleotide sequence of human DNA is approximately
50,000 to 100,000 genes in the human genome. The Human Genome Project
