Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The sequnecing of humen genome helped in echencing the basic understanding of genetics and immunity to verious disorders. Various genes that cause genetic disorders were identified with the help of this project
It was found that more than 1200 genes are responsible for common humen cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases diseases (like diabates), neurological, disorder ( like Alzeimer's disease, cancers and meny more. These diseases can be treated easily by knowing the particular gene responsible for the parthicular disease.
