For the UK Architect firm, see HGP Architects DNA Replication The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international scientific research project with a primary goal of determining the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up DNA and to identify and map the approximately 20,000–25,000 genes of the human genome from both a physical and functional standpoint. The project began in 1990 and was initially headed by James D. Watson at the U.S. National Institutes of Health . A working draft of the genome was released in 2000 and a complete one in 2003, with further, more detailed analysis still being published. A parallel project was conducted outside of government by the Celera Corporation . Most of the government-sponsored sequencing was performed in universities and research centers from the United States , the United Kingdom Japan France Germany ... Canada , and New Zealand . The mapping of human genes is an important step in the development of medicines and other aspects of health care. While the objective of the Human Genome Project is to understand the genetic makeup of the human species, the project has also focused on several other nonhuman organisms such as

External Links The Human Genome Project was started in 1990 as a joint effort between the United States (the Department of Energy and the National Institute of Health) and researchers in China, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom, at an estimated cost of (US) $3 billion. A "rough draft" of the human genome was made public in the year 2000, followed by a announcement of a nearly complete sequencing of all human genes in 2003. In May 2006, researchers announced that they had fully sequenced all genes in Chromosome 1 (the largest human chromosome). Current technology limits the ability to decode many parts of the human genome, including the centromeres (repetative centers of the chromosomes), the telomeres (tips of the chromosomes, believed to be controls of cell aging), and some dense areas that appear to produce immunity defenses to disease. It is estimated that 92% of the human genome has been sequenced to date.

    Extractions: Robert Mullan Cook-Deegan* Introduction The earliest and most obvious applications of genome research are tests for genetic disorders, but less obvious diagnostic uses may prove at least as important, such as forensic uses to establish identity (to determine paternity, to link suspects of physical evidence of rape or murder, or as a molecular "dog-tag" in the military). Genome research also promises to find genes expeditiously, making the genetic approach attractive as a first step in the study not only of complex diseases, but also of normal biological function. Each new gene is a potential target for drug development to fix it when broken, to shut it down, to attenuate or amplify its expression, or to change its product, usually a protein. Finding a gene gives investigators a molecular handle on problems that have proven intractable. Faith that the systematic analysis of DNA structure will prove to be a powerful research tool underlies the rationale behind the genome project. Faith that that scientific power will translate to products, jobs and wealth underlies the recent substantial investments in private genome research startup companies and the diversification of pharmaceutical and agricultural research firms into genome research. The human genome project was borne of technology, grew into a science bureaucracy in the U.S. and throughout the world and is now being transformed into a hybrid academic and commercial enterprise. The next phase of the project promises to veer more sharply toward commercial application, exploiting the rapidly growing body of knowledge about DNA structure to the pursuit of practical benefits.

    Extractions: SCIENCE FRIDAY... Science Friday Archives June Hour One: Human Genome Project / Genetics Update As rumors swirled around the genetics community that the Celera corporation was within days of releasing the full results of their human genome sequencing work, Craig Venter, head of Celera, and Francis Collins, head of the National Institutes of Health genome project, said that their two projects really were not racing to the finish at all. At an NIH conference on genetics and cancer this week, the two scientists said that their roles "complemented" each other. Furthermore, the Celera leader said that all the company's genome data would be made freely available, not sold privately to pharmaceutical and biotech companies. This unusually friendly meeting between the two scientists comes during a busy time for genetics research. Earlier his month, Celera announced that it had sequenced 1/3 of the mouse genome. In March, the company published the data for the gene sequence of the fruit fly, a favorite of biologists. In other news, the actual number of genes in the human genome is in debate. Estimates range from about 30,000 to over 100,000but noone really knows. Dueling papers in the journal Nature Genetics, and a debate at a recent conference at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, have increased the speculation. (There's even a sweepstakes running in which scientists bet on the number of genes that code for proteins, winner take all.)

    Extractions: by Dr Simon Foote (Click here for an overview of this article) WHAT IS THE HUMAN GENOME AND WHY DO WE NEED TO SEQUENCE IT? The Human Genome project is one of the most ambitious and challenging quests ever undertaken by science. Its goal is to completely map and sequence all of the genetic material that makes us human. When it is done, we will have a new and profoundly powerful tool to help us to unravel the mysteries of how the human body grows and functions. The cells in our bodies each contain a master program which controls how and when they develop and how they should function. This information is organised in units called genes, which are arrayed, one after the other along long polymers called chromosomes. We have 46 chromosomes, arranged in pairs kept in the nucleus of most cells. The chromosomes are made of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Chemically, DNA is one of the simplest molecules in the cell. It is comprised of just four building blocks, or residues, strung together in enormously long strings. The residues combine to make our genes, and our genes string together to make our chromosomes. The sequence of the building blocks is not random. It is inherited from our parents who in turn inherited from their parents. The sequence has been moulded over many aeons of environmental influences and directs our responses to the environmental stimuli we face today. To some extent our genome dictates our future. It may hold versions of genes that predispose us to certain illnesses, or conversely to good health and perhaps longevity. Even the basis of our personality may owe some debt to our genome.

16. Jewish Law - Commentary/Opinion
    Commentary from the Jewish Law (journal) site that deals with questions that Judaism raises in connection with the human genome project  
    http://www.jlaw.com/Commentary/genome.html
    
    Extractions: Judaism and the Human Genome Project by Richard Greenberg "Today," President Clinton declared at a recent White House ceremony, "we are learning the language in which God created life." No, he didn't mean Hebrew, although that would have been a nice touch. Clinton was referring to the human genome, the multi-billion-letter "operating manual" for homo sapiens that scientists have finally deciphered surely the most eagerly awaited literary release this side of Harry Potter. This cracking of the genetic code promises to revolutionize medicine, but it also raises a host of moral and ethical questions that Judaism speaks to. The genome, for example, will no doubt help us better understand human behavior-and misbehavior-by identifying its genetic components. Consider where that might take us. Fast-forward to the year 2015: Is it farfetched to imagine, say, enterprising defense attorneys concocting "genetic defenses" for their clients? Judaism wouldn't buy it. Our tradition maintains that biology is not destiny, and therefore holds people accountable for their actions-whether or not they have whatever syndrome is momentarily fashionable. There are legitimate mitigating factors, of course, such as mental incompetence, but Judaism otherwise consistently affirms the ability of people to exercise their free will and make moral choices. In fact, in general the Talmud says a person is always liable for his actions, whether awake or asleep. Unfortunately, Judaism's position runs counter to a growing societal tendency to diminish personal accountability, often using medical or psychological "explanations" to excuse evil deeds. Does the term "Twinkie defense" ring a bell? That argument was used in a celebrated 1978 case by an attorney who maintained that his client was driven to commit murder by his addiction to junk food.

The project, intended to be completed in 15 years, proposed to identify the chromosomal location of every human gene , to determine each gene's precise chemical structure in order to show its function in health and disease, and to determine the precise sequence of nucleotides of the entire set of genes (the genome). Another project was to address the ethical, legal, and social implications of the information obtained. The information gathered will be the basic reference for research in human biology and will provide fundamental insights into the genetic basis of human disease. The new technologies developed in the course of the project will be applicable in numerous biomedical fields. In 2000 the government and the private corporation Celera Genomics jointly announced that the project had been virtually completed, five years ahead of schedule.
