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.
September 1998 – At a meeting of the main advisory body for the Human Genome Project (HGP), project planners present a new plan to produce a "finished" version of the DNA sequence of the human genome by the end of 2003, two years ahead of its original schedule.
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.
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 ...
Depiction of prevalences of various classes of bacteria at selected sites on human skin. Prior to the HMP launch, it was often reported in popular media and scientific literature that there are about 10 times as many microbial cells and 100 times as many microbial genes in the human body as there are human cells; this figure was based on estimates that the human microbiome includes around 100 ...

When printed, the human genome sequence fills around 100 huge books of close print. Genome projects are scientific endeavours that ultimately aim to determine the complete genome sequence of an organism (be it an animal, a plant, a fungus, a bacterium, an archaean, a protist or a virus) and to annotate protein-coding genes and other important genome-encoded features.
