Abstract

The Human Genome Project is an international effort to clone and sequence the entire human genome. This audacious undertaking, estimated to cost 200 million dollars per year and require 15 years to complete, promises to be one of the most revolutionary and captivating scientific endeavors ever conceived by mankind. By knowing the sequence of the estimated 3 billion base pairs of the haploid human genome and its more than 30,000 genes, many questions will be answered. Moreover, our ability to intervene at the genetic level will be possible. This review outlines the scientific goals and methods of this project and discusses some of its ethical, legal, and social ramifications.
