[Policy Forum] The Genome Project-Write

ScienceNOW - Fetched: July 7th, 2016, 3:00pm UTC

The Human Genome Project (“HGP-read”), nominally completed in 2004, aimed to sequence the human genome and to improve the technology, cost, and quality of DNA sequencing (1, 2). It was biology's first genome-scale project and at the time was considered controversial by some. Now, it is recognized as one of the great feats of exploration, one that has revolutionized science and medicine. Authors: Jef D. Boeke, George Church, Andrew Hessel, Nancy J.
