THE Human Genome Project
Today I will be defining the Human Genome project. This is a project to study, research, implement, and produce a DNA sequence of the Human Genome System. The human genome project is working to try and find a way to see what every gene in the human body actually does. They have already done a DNA sequence of human genes. They discovered the human body has more proteins than they first thought; now they have to see what each protein does. When they discover this it might be feasible to actually re-grow human body parts. I learned that one of the first groups to think of sequencing the human genome project was Los Alamos. Everyone thought it was an off the wall idea, but they had more intentions behind idea. The U.S. Military wanted to study the affects of an atomic blast. They were going to use Japanese survivors from World War II. The human genome project was basically started to keep unemployed bomb makers in a job (Ussery).
DNA is something that has been talked about since 1983 (Programs). The Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) a department of Energy laboratory, and the Lawrence Berkley National Laboratory (LBNL), also a Department of Energy Laboratory. They were to begin production of DNA clone with single chromosomes. In 1984 the (DOE OHER) Office of Health and Environment Research U.S. Department of Energy ( Now Office of Biological and Environmental Research ) and ( ICPEMC) International Commission for Protection Against Mutagens and Carcinogens: acknowledges the value of Human Genome Reference Sequencing.
Some of you have probably already read about it, or maybe even studied it before. For those who haven’t I hope at least some will take away knowledge of how it works. This project was started in the summer of 1990 (Programs), it is estimated to take over 15 years and cost $ 3 billion dollars. Scientist’s stretching across the globe has been involved. Their hopes are to
