The Human Genome Project (1990-2003) was a public project whose two central goals were to sequence the entire human genome and find all of the genes within it. Finding genes can be difficult because, according to recent estimates, they make up only 1% â 3% of the whole genome.
The Human Genome Project originally aimed to map the nucleotides contained in a human haploid reference genome (more than three billion). The genome of any given individual is unique; mapping the human genome involves sequencing multiple variations of each gene.t is considered a Mega Project because the human genome has approximately 3.3 billion base-pairs. With the sequence in hand, the next step was to identify the genetic variants that increase the risk for common diseases like cancer and diabetes.
