The Human Genome Project is an international, scientific research project to understand the complete genetic makeup of human beings.

The goals of Human Genome Project are:

(i) Identify all the genes in the human DNA (approximately 20,000-25,000).

(ii) Determine the sequences of the 3 billion base pairs that make up human DNA.

(iii) Store the huge information generated from the project in databases.

(iv) Improve tools for data analysis.

(v) Transfer related technologies to other sectors like industries.

(vi) Address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.
