Verified by Experts

The goals of HGP are as follows:
Determine the sequence and number of all the base pairs (three billion) in the human genome.
Identify all the genes (25000) present in human DNA.
Determine the function of all the genes and identify the various genes that cause genetic disorders.
Store the information in data bases.
Improve tools for data analysis.
Find out possibilities of transfer of technology developed during HGP to industry.
Address ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project.
