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.
1 National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) . 2  NHGRI led the National Institutes of Health's contribution to the International Human Genome Project. 3  This project, which had as its primary goal the sequencing of the three thousand million base pairs that make up human genome, was successfully completed in April 2003.long with identifying all of the approximately 20,000â25,000 genes in the human genome, the Human Genome Project also sought to address the ethical, legal, and social issues that were created by the onset of the project. For that the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) program was founded in 1990.
