OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! 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). The genome sequence for any organism requires the DNA sequences for each of the chromosomes in an organism to be determined. For bacteria, which usually have just one chromosome, a genome project will aim to map the sequence of that chromosome. Humans, with 22 pairs of autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes, will require 46 separate chromosome sequences in order to represent the completed genome. The Human Genome Project was a landmark genome project and some have argued that the era of genomics is one of the more fundamental advances in human history. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Frederic P.
