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.
A rough draft of the human genome was completed by the Human Genome Project in early 2001, creating much fanfare. This project, completed in 2003, sequenced the entire genome for one specific person, and by 2007 this sequence was declared finished (less than one error in 20,000 bases and all chromosomes assembled).
