The Human Genome Project is an international research effort to map the human genome and the genomes of other organisms.
It officially began in 1990 with planning and funding through the US Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health.
The aim was to complete physical and genetic maps of the entire human genome, elucidating the complete sequence of the 3 billion base pairs per genome, localizing all the genes therein, and making the data public along the way. The project uses DNA from a number of individuals who will remain anonymous to protect their privacy.
