program designed to construct detailed genetic and physical maps of the

human genome, to determine the complete nucleotide sequence of

human DNA, to localize the estimated 80,000 genes within the human

genome, and to perform similar analyses on the genomes of several other

organisms used extensively in research laboratories as model systems.

This project is estimated to take 15 years to complete from October 1990

and has already cost the U.S. 2.5 billion dollars. The scientific products

of the HGP will comprise a resource of detailed information about the

structure, organization and function of human DNA, information that is

the basic set of inherited instructions for the development and

What is the overall goal of the Project?

In September, advisory committees at DOE and NIH approved new

5-year goals aimed at completing the Human Genome Project two years

earlier than originally planned in 1990. The new plan, published in the

October 23, 1998 issue of Science, covers fiscal years 1999-2003 and

calls for generating a "working draft" of the human genome DNA

genetic engineering, produce drugs of value to us.

Other major goals outlined in the plan include exploring the

genome that are also positioned relative to each other. Currently an

can have a major impact on how our bodies respond to disease,
