Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The competition that developed between the groups developing the human genome map benefit the HGP has to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
HGP: The human Genome Project was an international research effort to determine the sequence of the human genome and identity of genes that it contains.
Human genome project is billion dollar effort initiated by the American federal agency combined with National institute of health (NIH). At the same time, many countries like Japan initiated same programme like
(DDBJ- DNA data bank of japan) developed by japan
ENSEMBL- European bioinformatics lab database- Germany, Europe
Celera genomics- USA
