Which fact regarding the Human Genome Project is not correct?
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.
