Human Genome Project

Human Genome Project

The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international research effort to decipher the entire human genome and understand the unique hereditary instructions that each person possesses.  The HGP is a jointly funded project by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with additional research done by the National  (NHGRI).  The project, launched in 1990, was originally planned to last 15 years, but rapid advances in technology have accelerated the expected completion date to 2003.  The Joint Genome Institute (JGI), established in 1997, is one of the largest publicly funded human genome sequencing centers in the world and contributes greatly to the HGP.  The Wellcome Trust in the United Kingdom also contributes substantial investments to the HGP.
The roots of the HGP can be traced back to the atomic bomb era that began during World War II.  Descendants of bomb survivors harbor DNA mutations as a result of severe radiation exposure.  These mutations were passed to their descendents who developed horrible diseases and malformations.  The DOE’s role in the HGP arose to study the genetic and health effects or potential health risks of radiation and chemical by-products of
