The Human Genome Project was a 15-year scientific effort that mapped the entire human genome. It was primarily funded by governments in the US, UK, Japan, and other countries and cost $3 billion total. The project successfully identified the locations of all genes within human DNA and provided insights that enable genetically modifying crops, locating cancer cells, and diagnosing genetic diseases prenatally. Key techniques included genetic mapping to locate gene pairs on chromosomes and linkage analysis to determine the distance between disease-causing genes. The project's outcomes include further enabling gene therapy and precisely locating genes responsible for diseases.

2. What is the Human Genome Project?
• Human Genome: is the full
complement of genetic material in a
human cell
• Locates where the DNA pairs are
located in your body
• The actual genome is DNA
• A person ahs between 100,000 and
300,000 genes

3. Who created the Project?
• Primarily founded by the US Government
• The Department of Energy
• Genome centers
• Money provided for the project from
Japan, The United Kingdom and other
technological advanced countries

4. Common users
• The HGP is mainly used by humans
• The HGP is used on crops
• Animals
• Sterilization

6. Techniques
• Researchers used a technique called genetic
mapping
• Genetic mapping: locates the pairs of genes
on the chromosomes
• Using genetic mapping, you can determine the
genetic code that allows our bodies to develop

7. Techniques
• Linkage: allows us to determine the regions of
chromosomes that are likely to contain a risk
gene
• Linkage helps locate the distance between
disease causing genes
• Risks- labor intensive, requires DNA from
affected ad unaffected genes

8. Pros and cons of the Project
Pros Cons
• Successfully identifies where • 15 years
the genes of DNA are located
in the body • $3 billion
• Genetically modify foods • Requires skill
• Make crops grow faster and • Process is very difficult with
more resistant to pesticides lots of procedures
• Mapping can locate cancer
cells and mental illnesses
• Can identify if the fetus has
genetic mutations in the
womb

9. The Human Genome Project

10. What are the outcomes of The human
Genome Project?
• Genetically proven to have the ability to locate
genes that are responsible for locating
diseases
• Gene Therapy used today
• The HGP has been very successful
