Enlist the goals and applications of Human Genome project.

Explanation

The objectives of HGP are
a. To identify the estimated 1.00.000 genes present in the 23 human chromosomes.
b. To determine the sequence of 3 billion base pairs that makeup human DNA.
c. To store this information in a Data Base.
  d. To improve tools for data analysis.
e. To address ethical legal and social issues that may arise from the project.
Applications of HGP:
a.It will help in understanding the functioning of genes and genetic regulation, b. Many genes associated with human diseases like cystic fibrosis, breast cancer, muscle disorders, cardio vascular diseases, diabetes etc have been identified. This helps in understanding the disease development and formulating new methods of diagnosis and treatment.
c. Helps in medical diagnosis and treatment.
