The Human Genome Project Video – 3D Animation Introduction
Human Genome Project; An introduction to the ongoing Human Genome Project. The dynamic 3D animation will take you “inside” for a close up look at the complexity of the cell. Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. During the early years of the HGP, the Wellcome Trust (U.K.) became a major partner; additional contributions came from Japan, France, Germany, China, and others. See our history page for more information. Project goals were to identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, transfer related technologies to the private sector, and address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. Though the HGP is finished, analyses of the data will continue for many years. Follow this ongoing research on our Progress page. An important feature of the HGP project was the federal government’s long-standing dedication to the transfer of technology to the private sector. By licensing technologies to private companies and awarding grants for innovative research, the project catalyzed the multibillion-dollar U.S. biotechnology industry and fostered the development of new medical applications. Knowledge about the effects of DNA variations among individuals can lead to revolutionary new ways to diagnose, treat, and someday prevent the thousands of disorders that affect us. Besides providing clues to understanding human biology, learning about nonhuman organisms’ DNA sequences can lead to an understanding of their natural capabilities that can be applied toward solving challenges in health care, agriculture, energy production, environmental remediation, and carbon sequestration. A genome is all the DNA in an organism, including its genes. Genes carry information for making all the proteins required by all organisms. These proteins determine, among other things, how the organism looks, how well its body metabolizes food or fights infection, and sometimes even how it behaves.
DNA is made up of four similar chemicals (called bases and abbreviated A, T, C, and G) that are repeated millions or billions of times throughout a genome. The human genome, for example, has 3 billion pairs of bases. The particular order of As, Ts, Cs, and Gs is extremely important. The order underlies all of life’s diversity, even dictating whether an organism is human or another species such as yeast, rice, or fruit fly, all of which have their own genomes and are themselves the focus of genome projects. Because all organisms are related through similarities in DNA sequences, insights gained from nonhuman genomes often lead to new knowledge about human biology. Producer: NIH

it’s an important discovery, it will help us to understand all kind of desease that are damaging life style of many people around the world, I know all has its disadvantage but it’s still very helpful for all of us. to heal; that’s what God allows to do. you know YIN YAM, illness healness ( just in case sorry for my english, i’m learning

god bless you REGARDLESS

as cybernetics evolves technology will replace nearly all jobs. We will have to eliminate money, or be faced with a military dictatorship who has to control the rioting, while giving food rations, all because there will be no jobs. Lets turn from a profit based economy to a resource based one

The ignorance by both pyxlated and immayem expunges my bewilderment. How can both of you guys sit and debate back and forth until the wolf protrudes out of the dusk ridden night, on a topic that is obviously a fabricated science. What has society come to, when that of the common man is of complete benightedness. Good Day.
I must profess …
I must profess ignorance here, because I haven’t researched the things you have. But keep it up, because we need watchdogs to keep the powerful in line. Just don’t reject everything genetics has to offer for fear of whoever’s paying for it, or we’ll never get anywhere. =)
…all of this is …
…all of this is to merely point out that there is a bigger picture. On the positive side, I like to imagine what life on this planet will be like when technology is returned to the hands of free people. Cures for cancer have already been found. We will be allowed to use them. We will have free energy. Everyone will eat. But we must NOT accept corporate ownership of the field of Genetics research.
…i actually …
…i actually learned about the bigger picture gradually, over a few years. It began with one book about 8 years ago… ‘ The Underground History of American Education’ by John Taylor Gatto. It discusses how our education model actually was based on military training of Prussian soldiers/mercenaries. The model was brought to the US by Rockefeller and Morgan (to train US children to be ‘good workers’) – They helped develop the Dept. of Ed. That book led to others – hundreds of books, documents.

I cannot control how the issue is reported on, or conveyed to the broader audience. I have spent YEARS now (it’s like my second job) learning about the genocidal exploits of a group of people whose methods and aims are hidden from the view of the public, and protected/implemented not only by our own government, but by the shaping of opinion regarding ‘conspiracy theorists’… cont’s
Apologies for the …
Apologies for the Zeitgeist gibe; the Rockefeller/depopulation conspiracy is popular in that circle, and I assumed that was where you had heard of it.
I’m not trying to tell you that big corporations are to be trusted, I’m just extremely skeptical of a conspiracy to global genocide. If there are negative consequences of genetics, it would be subtle and social in nature: designer babies, sports controversies, job requirements, that sort of thing. I’m more inclined to keep an eye on the pharm’s.
