The Human Genome Project

A genome is all the DNA in an organism, including it's genes. Genes carry information for making all the proteins required by all organisms. These proteins determine, among other things, how the organism looks, acts, processes and fights infections.



DNA is made up of four similar chemicals (bases, adenine , Thymine , cytosine , and guanine ) that are repeated millions or billions of times throughout a genome. The human genome has three billion base pairs. The order of these base pairs are extremely important and determine everything in an organism.



The Human Genome Project started in the mid-1980's and was discussed widely throughout the scientific community and public press in the last years of the decade.
