HUMAN GENOME PROJECT

Human genome Project study chemical base pair study the genetic information in human body

Project: started in 1990 13 years project coordinated by US Department of energy

Objective Identification of a gene gene mapping to study 3 billion of chemical units

Genomics genetic material in all living organisms include a gene anda non-coding DNA/RNA

TechniquesKaryotyping: Process of separation of complete set of chromosomes from a cell aligning the chromosome by Karyogram/ Idiogram Idiogram - diagrammatic representation of a chromosome Chromosomes are classified on length, number, arms, ratio & secondary constrictions

Findings: There are about 2000 pairs of gene in humans only 7% of protein family are specific to Vertebrates

Application:it is widely used in molecular biology bio engineering human pathology

Merits: narrow down the process of identifying gene to study genetic disease and treatment used in forensic science and in genomics

Drawbacks: May cause discrimination among people due to differentiation in genome.In Genetic information

Conclusion: Human genome Project is a valid project useful for detection of genomics andthe genetic material
