Question

The Human Genome Project remains the world’s largest collaborative biological project. Read the information in the links and handouts given to you, to answer the questions given below. 1. What was the aim of the Human Genome Project? It is often described as ambitious. Would you agree and why? 2. The project was conceptualised in the mid-80’s and despite multiple teams working across the world, it took nearly 15 years to get the sequence of the human genome. Why do you think it took this long? 3. Sequencing the first human genome cost about $1 billion and took 13 years to complete; today it costs about $3,000 to $5000 and takes just one to two days (or even lesser). What had led to this huge change? 4. What was the approach adopted by the publicly funded international research teams for sequencing the Human Genome? What was the difference in the approach adopted by Celera Genomics?

00:01 Hello student here.

00:01 The question is regarding the human genome project and we know this is a human genome project is a large project and diverse project and it is initiated in the year of 1990, 1990.

00:21 So it is started in the 1990 and end in 2003.

00:28 So end in 2003.

00:30 So, it is started in the 1990 and end in 2003.

00:30 So, it is started.

00:31 So in this project the goal is mainly the goal of the project is determining of the complete human genome.

00:42 Determining the complete sequence of human genome.

00:56 And in this, the scientists around world are collaborated.

01:02 So the collaborative, this is the collaborative project.

01:05 Project and it is done by the sound test around the world and it is mainly managed by the nih national institute of health and the department of energy which is present in usa and united state and simply the initial stages of this human genome project involved so if we talk about this initial stage of human genome project then they are involving the determining best sequencing and assembly strategy and assembly strategy in that they are going to use the a hararcal shortcut method shotgun approach and in this approach, they mainly involve breaking the genome.

02:22 So in this case, involve breaking the genome into smaller pieces.

02:37 And by breaking these genome into smaller pieces, they are going to sequence them, sequencing and assembly...
