Human Genome Project

What is the human genome project? How has it changed the way that we look at genetic diseases/disorders, gene therapy, and forensics science?

The human genome project is a world-wide effort to map the human genome. It is very important because it can tell us if a person has a disease or is a carrier before they show any symptoms. in gene therapy, they can find out which genes are compatible with the other genes the suject has before they perform any gene-changing. In forensic science it can help to determin who died, who they are related to, who did it, and so on.

The human genome project is when you study and map the human genome. The human genome carries important information that tells us if we have a specific disorder of if we have a special trait. You can use this when you want to track a certain person or thing.

The human genome project is a world-wide effort to map the human genome. They are studying it and attempting to map it. The human genome carries important information that tells us if we have a specific disorder.

Scientists around the world and contributing to the "Human Genome Project". They look at human genome and see was specific disease they have before they show any symptoms.

The Hman Genome Project is a group that makes a map of the human genome. It is used world wide. It has helped us a lot, because since we have this project, we now can see the people that have a specific genetic disease and also people that are carriers of a disease. In gene therapy, you can take a bad gene and replace it with a better one that isn't damaged. With forensic science, you can determine your genotype by using the genes of your families and how they died.

the human genome progect is the mapping of the human genome. it is importent to use to find the gens that are ginetic disease. maby find a stop to the ginetic disease.

The human genome project is the study of the map of the human genome. It can help tell us if we have a certain genetic disorder. In forensics, it can help determin who died and stuff about it.

It is the world wide effort to map the human genome. Can link diseases to specific gene sequences. It can help determine who killed someone or how they died.

its a world wide effort to map the human genome. the human is a person like everyone else. it helps find disease.

A project to help to map the human genome. It helps us figure out with genes are compatible with other genes. It helps with forensics, and why they were this way.

The human genome project is studing and mapping the human genome. It tells if you have a specific disorder. You find this when you track a specific person.

the human genome project was a plan to map a persons genes. they were testing what causes certain diseases and what we could do to help. they were looking for things to help cure diseases that people knew of already

The human genome project is the world's effort to map the human genome. This is used to diagnose diseases and disorders so people know if they will have the disease or if their offspring will. This can also be used in forensic science to link people to the crime.

its a project thing that studies the map of the human genome. it tells if the person has a certain genetic disorder. you can come about ur genetic disorder by looking back at your family and how they've died and what not. it can be used in forensic science by linking or relating that person back toaa certain crime or something...mhmm yep
