The Human Genome Project (HGP) was declared complete in April 2003. An initial rough draft of the human genome was available in June 2000 and by February 2001 a working draft had been completed and published followed by the final sequencing mapping of the human genome on April 14, 2003.
2001 – Celera Genomics and the Human Genome Project create a draft of the human genome sequence. It is published by Science and Nature Magazine. 2002 – Rice becomes the first crop to have its genome decoded. 2003 – The Human Genome Project is completed, providing information on the locations and sequence of human genes on all 46 chromosomes.
1998: The first genome sequence for a multicellular eukaryote, Caenorhabditis elegans, is released. 2000: The full genome sequence of Drosophila melanogaster is completed. 2001: First draft sequences of the human genome are released simultaneously by the Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics.
October 21, 2004 – The International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, led in the United States by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the Department of Energy (DOE) publishes its scientific description of the finished human genome sequence, reducing the estimated number of human protein-coding genes from 35,000 to only ...
It is the oldest human cell line and one of the most commonly used. [1] [2] HeLa cells are durable and prolific, allowing for extensive applications in scientific study. [3] [4] The line is derived from cervical cancer cells taken on February 8, 1951, [5] from Henrietta Lacks, a 31-year-old African American mother of five, after whom the line ...
The completed human genome sequence will also provide better understanding of human formation as an individual organism and how humans vary both between each other and other species. [ 68 ] Although the 'completion' of the human genome project was announced in 2001, [ 2 ] there remained hundreds of gaps, with about 5–10% of the total sequence ...

For a bacterium containing a single chromosome, a genome project will aim to map the sequence of that chromosome. For the human species, whose genome includes 22 pairs of autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes, a complete genome sequence will involve 46 separate chromosome sequences. The Human Genome Project is a well known example of a genome project ...
