Human Genome Project




The Human Genome project is one of the most ambitious and challenging quests ever undertaken by science. Its goal is to completely map and sequence all of the genetic material that makes us human. When it is done, we will have a new and profoundly powerful tool to help us to unravel the mysteries of how the human body grows and functions. The cells in our bodies each contain a master program which controls how and when they develop and how they should function. This information is organized in units called genes, which are arrayed one after the other along long polymers called chromosomes. I hope that the Genome Project can accomplish one of its goals, and that is to try to cure and find a treatment for all human diseases. I support the project.
