<p> A genome is an organism’s complete set of DNA, including all of its genes. Each genome contains all of the information needed to build and maintain that organism. In humans, a copy of the entire genome—more than 3 billion DNA base pairs—is contained in all cells that have a nucleus. With these genomes, people do human project. The work of the Human Genome Project has allowed researchers to begin to understand the blueprint for building a person. As researchers learn more about the functions of genes and proteins, this knowledge will have a major impact in the fields of medicine, biotechnology, and the life sciences. </p>
<p>Firstly, genomics affect the medicine field. Via genomics, we can get the information of human genomes. In other words, we can also know the mutation and abnormal situation of DNA. So, the cause of disease can be known. As a result, the disease can be cured by developing medicines. Actually, many genetists cooperate with pharmacists.</p>
<p>The main goals of the Human Genome Project were to provide a complete and accurate sequence of the 3 billion DNA base pairs that make up the human genome and to find all of the estimated 20,000 to 25,000 human genes. The Project also aimed to sequence the genomes of several other organisms that are important to medical research, such as the mouse and the fruit fly.</p>
