The human genome consists of about 25000 and 30000 genes.
The aims of the human genome are to find the location of all these genes on the human chromosomes and the base sequence of all of the DNA that makes them up.
This project is an international cooperative, involving laboratories in many countries.
The sequencing of the entire human genome will make it easier to study how genes influence human development. This will easier identification of genetic diseases. It will allow the production of new drugs based on DNA base sequence of genes or the structure of proteins coded for by these genes. It will give us new insights into he origins, evolution and migration of humans.
