What is the Human Genome project

In this new video from Unprofesor we will explain a "What is the human genome project".

What is the human genome project. The Human Genome Project is an international scientific research project whose main objective is to determine the sequence of chemical base pairs that make up DNA. Namely, identify and map the approximately 20,000 to 25,000 genes in the human genome. His point of view is physical and functional. That is, to establish the entire sequence of genes and possibly their interactions in order to understand how these genomes are expressed and give rise to life. In fact, Many countries participate in this project, but perhaps the most important would be the United States, Germany, France, Great Britain, Japan and many others. This project was curiously taken by two different styles. On the one hand private capital (with the company accelerates) and on the other public capital (with the public consortium). Sequencing began in 1990 and it was not until 2003 that all this sequencing was terminated.

The two organisms agreed to publish their results together, shaping the complete sequence of the human genome.
