Question
Enumerate the goals of human genome project.
✓
Answer
The goals of HGP are as follows:
- Determine the sequence and number of all the base pairs (three billion) in the human genome.
- Identify all the genes (25000) present in human DNA.
- Determine the function of all the genes and identify the various genes that cause genetic disorders.
- Store the information in data bases.
- Improve tools for data analysis
- Find out possibilities of transfer of technology developed during HGP to industry.
- Address ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.
