Abstract
The Human Genome Project (HGP) is a worldwide effort to map and sequence the genetic make-up of human beings. A genome is a complete copy of the genetic material of a specific organism. To map the human genome means to locate each of approximately 100,000 genes on our 24 different chromosomes. Sequencing refers to the determination of how four nucleosides (adenosine, guanosine, cytodine, and thymidine) are arranged within our strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) to direct the production of RNA (ribonucleic acid) and proteins for specific functions. The study of model organisms is included in the HGP as a means of facilitating the
