The Human Genome Project; Everyone thought it would take 15 years to complete. After all they did have to map out a little over 3 Billion Gene Code Sequences. They begun in October 1990, And it was finished in December 2001. "The Human Genome is like a book", said one the scientist who worked on The Human Genome Project, "Because for each person it tells a different story". In The Last 10 years they have used up millions and millions of dollars to start using computers, and make the project fully automated. The computers "cleave" the DNA into fragments, then the DNA is dyed, and then a laser reads the colors, and each color represents a C, G, A, or a T.
The Human Genome Project makes it possible to be tested to see if our children will get a whole assortment of di
Another Problem is that companies are patenting gene sequences such as the Gene sequence that makes insulin... It's be wrong to not let them patient it, because then other company's could just waltz right in and start using that same gene, and make insulin, But if they let them patient that out. They have to let all gene sequences be patented. And that means that perhaps study on a particular gene sequence could not be conducted because it is patiented to another, And that could result in the major delay of Modern drugs to help combat modern diseases.
seases. Such as TySacks, or Huntington's disease, both which are genetic disorders and took 10 to 15 years to find the genetic mutations that causes them. Humans are 99.9% similar to all other humans, that mea
