Human Genome Project: an organized international scientific endeavour to determine the complete structure of human genetic material (DNA), identify all the genes, and to understand their function
Human Genome Project: an international scientific project that started in 1988. Its aim was to find and describe every gene in every chromosome in the human body, and to find out what each gene's purpose is, especially in order to discover which ones cause particular diseases. U.S. research effort initiated in 1990 by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health to analyze the DNA of human beings. The project, intended to be completed in 15 years, proposed to identify the chromosomal location of every human gene, to determine each gene's precise chemical structure in order to show its function in health and disease, and to determine the precise sequence of nucleotides of the entire set of genes (the genome). Another project was to address the ethical, legal, and social implications of the information obtained. The information gathered will be the basic reference for research in human biology and will provide fundamental insights into the genetic basis of human disease. The new technologies developed in the course of the project will be applicable in numerous biomedical fields. In 2000 the government and the private corporation Celera Genomics jointly announced that the project had been virtually completed, five years ahead of schedule
