This should be a big science project equivalent to the Human Genome Project.

And so just to give you a picture of what this looks like, the Human Genome Project 3 gigabases, right.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the human genome.

How many are there in the human genome? Three billion.

If you're telling me you're going to be the great developer of the map of the human genome, you'd better know what a human genome is.

Their complexity, their sophistication, is something to really marvel at, and I think it's really the scandal of the Human Genome Project.

The first human genome took 10 years, three billion dollars.

In 2000, researchers working on the Human Genome Project announced that they had determined the sequence of base pairs that make up this chromosome.

To ensure free access to information on the human genome sequence.

So we can now, in a matter of hours, determine a whole human genome.

So, if you look at a human genome, they consist of 3.2 billion of these base pairs. That's a lot.

Another Puppeteer breeding experiment was the Lucky Human Project .

Except genomics is a lens on biology through the window of the sequence of bases in the human genome.

They're easy to sequence unlike a human, they, you know, have a thousand, two thousand genes we can figure out what they are.

And halfway through the project, skeptics said, Well, this is not working out. You're halfway through the genome project and you've finished one percent of the project.

Since then, the field of genetics has advanced significantly, particularly as a result of the global Human Genome Project, which in 2003 identified all of the roughly 23,000 genes and three billion chemical base pairs in human DNA in order to screen for many rare diseases.

The current understanding of the human set of genes () includes the existence of thousands of genes based solely on EST evidence.

We didn't sequence his genome.

What does a genome look like?

And it looks really good.

Recalling also its resolution 53 152 of 9 December 1998, by which it endorsed the Universal Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights,

Human vs Human

The human genome was mapped through such a government led effort one that ultimately brought in the private sector as well.

The connexin gene family is diverse, with twenty one identified members in the sequenced human genome, and twenty in the mouse (nineteen of which are orthologous pairs).

This is part of that genome.

At the very top you find the uniformly random sequence, which is a random jumble of letters and interestingly, we also find the DNA sequence from the human genome and instrumental music.

As a result of the human genome process, we are in a situation where events that take place in the ocean like an erupting volcano, or something of that sort can actually be sampled.

After explaining what exactly the human genome is, how genetic variation works, and concepts like race in simple language, he finishes his post with the following thoughts

Mode Human vs Human

Around the turn of the century, the first sequencing of the human genome led to reverse vaccinology. This approach, whereby computational analysis of a pathogen s genome enables identification and screening of a great many more potential vaccine targets than was previously possible, was used in the successful development of a vaccine against meningitis B.

It is now possible will be possible, and if Craig Venter indeed comes today, he may tell you something about this to sequence the human genome for 40 million dollars by the end of this year.

What we're left with is a collection of five million books, 500 billion words, a string of characters a thousand times longer than the human genome a text which, when written out, would stretch from here to the Moon and back 10 times over a veritable shard of our cultural genome.

Your genome is the entire sequence of your DNA.

The Cancer Genome Atlas is coming out now.

But also, the genome is really the instruction manual.

So it's not surprising that some people would wonder whether maybe 30 or 40 years from now, we'll look back at this instant in time, and all of the sort of talk about the Human Genome Project, and what all this is going to mean to us well, it will really mean precious little.

One thing is, you know, you'll be hearing from a guy in the next session who said some time ago that he could sequence the human genome in half no time, and everyone said, Well, it's obviously impossible.

Now, you have the genome and you say to yourself, So, if I plug this synthetic genome if I pull the old one out and plug it in does it just boot up and live?

If you saw the genome for a mouse or for a human it would look no different than this, but what scientists are doing now is they're understanding what these do and what they mean.

Human

human?

Human?

Human?

When you get sick, it is a bug in your genome.

It's in there, waiting to be sequenced.
