    The Human Genome Project is a very well-known scientific research project made to determine the sequencing of chemical base pairs which make up human DNA. The Human Genome Project is also made to identify and map all of the human genes from both physical and functional parts. But how does this really affect us? The Human Genome Project has aimed to provide us with detailed information about the Human Genome. This will be extremely effective towards studying people with specific diseases such as

    Layan Kojan BIOL 1010 Assignment #3 - Option 2 The Human Genome Project Tuesday November 17, 2015 What makes one person differ from the other? Is it physical appearance, personality or mentality? These three factors separate each individual from one another and it is what makes them different. Physical appearance, personality and mentality are made up from the same building blocks which are known as DNA sequences. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), is a self replicating

    investigate the similarities between genomes of different species. The blast lab’s program allowed me to compare specific human proteins’ genome libraries in the Blast tool and figure out which species of animals were close to humans on the chart. I used the human keratin, Pax1, and myosin proteins’ genome and studied them using the Blast tool. As I compared the results with the human proteins, all three genes were almost identical to those of primates. Only 1% of the genome library, more or less, was different

    Science is an astonishing, intellectual field; it teaches humans about life and allows them to alter it in order to reap desirable results. The diligence and intellect of scientists who are able to rework the human body has contributed to the sharing of many beautiful and tear-jerking stories about babies who have been born and patients who have survived. As technology and knowledge about the body increases, people begin to question how much we should use our intelligence to change the bodies that

    the human germ line. Until now, the worries have been purely theoretical. But a technique invented recently makes it possible to edit the genome precisely and with much greater ease. The technique holds the power to repair or enhance any human gene. Genetic labs around the world are adapting this technique for they believe the benefits to be boundless. However, considering the ethical complications of genome editing affecting future generations, scientists have called for a moratorium on human genome

    for perfecting the human genome, discarding flaws from infants before they are born and ensuring they live longer, healthier lives. For others, it is an abomination: a method of circumventing what nature gave you, and wholly unnatural. Which one is right?” (Bird). Naturally, genetics is the scientific study of inherited variations in the DNA strand. This topic sparked curiosity among numerous scientific individuals that they begun a research project on it titled the Human Genome Project. To illustrate

    Human Genome Project Human curiosity is one of the most powerful engines that drive new knowledge, development, advancements and life improvements today. Some 100,000 or 200,000 years ago Homo sapiens emerged, and up to today humans are still searching for answers such as what we are and where we came from. For all of the diversity of the world's more than five billion people, full of creativity and contradictions, every human mind and body is built and runs with fewer than 100,000 kinds
