1. | Identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA and determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA. |
2. | Store the information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, and transfer related technologies to other sectors, such as industries. |
3. | Address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. |
4. | Develop technology to enable the introduction of genes into humans to manipulate their phenotypes and allow humans to demand a tailor-made gene composition for themselves. |

1. | The Human Genome Project was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institute of Health. |
2. | Many non-human model organisms, such as bacteria, yeast, Caenorhabditis Elegans (a free-living non-pathogenic nematode), Drosophila (the fruit fly), plants (rice and Arabidopsis), etc., have also been sequenced. |
3. | The sequence of chromosome 1 was completed only in May 2016 (this was the last of the 24 human chromosomes – 22 autosomes and X and Y – to be sequenced). |
4. | The fragments were sequenced using automated DNA sequencers that worked on the principle of a method developed by Frederick Sanger. |

1. | Satellite DNA forms small peaks other than the bulk DNA during density gradient centrifugation. |
2. | Depending on the base composition (A: T rich or G: C rich), length of the segment, and the number of repetitive units, the satellite DNA is classified into many categories, such as micro-satellites, mini-satellites etc. |
3. | These sequences normally do not code for any proteins, but they form a large portion of the human genome. |
4. | These sequences do not show any polymorphism and form the basis of DNA fingerprinting. |
