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).

Genome Sizes
The genome of an organism is the complete set of genes specifying how its phenotype will develop (under a certain set of environmental conditions).
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS)
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) is an approach used in genetics research to associate specific genetic variations with particular diseases.

Definition of genome :
The entire complement of genetic material in a chromosome set.
Genome
The complete package of genetic material for a living thing, a genome is one copy of the entire DNA in a cell of an organism (animal, plant or microbe) and includes both the chromosomes within the nucleus and the DNA in mitochondria.
In 1988 the first human neurodegenerative diseases associated with mutations in the mitochondrial genome were described.
Genome
The complete genetic content of a cell or organism, including chromosomes, plasmids, and prophages. The total genetic information of an organism.
genome 1. The set of genes carried by an individual. 2. The set of genes shared by members of a reproductive unit such as a population or species.
genotype The genetic (alleleic) makeup of an organism with regard to an observed trait.
Genome: All the genetic material in the chromosomes of a particular organism. The human genome consists of three billion bases, organized in about 100,000 genes on 23 chromosomes.

Human Genome Project Information
This is the home page constructed by the Human genome management information System. This link contains ideas on mapping research, ethical, social, and legal issues dealing with genetics.
A number of genomes, both bacterial and eukaryote, have been completely sequenced. Protein sizes average about 350 amino acids (1050 base pairs).

DNA sequence
The relative order of base pairs, whether in a fragment of DNA, a gene, a chromosome, or an entire genome. See base sequence.
The alignment of sequence data from large, adjacent regions of the genome to produce a continuous nucleotide sequence across a chromosomal region. (See Mapping.) Copy DNA. See cDNA. Cross-hybridization.
Alu repetitive sequence -- the most common dispersed repeated DNA sequence in the human genome accounting for 5% of human DNA. The name is derived from the fact that these sequences are cleaved by the restriction endonuclease Alu.
Thus a genomic library contains all of the sequences present in the genome and a cDNA library contains copies of all the mRNA molecules present in the extracted cells.
A transgenic construction inserted in a chromosome which is used to identify tissue-specific enhancers in the genome.
Antigenic shift is a sudden change in antigenicity caused by the recombination of the influenza genome, which can occur when a cell becomes simultaneously infected by two different strains of type A influenza.
Finally, the Human Genome Project was launched in 1990 with the goal of mapping the general human genome. This project was essentially completed in 2003, with further analysis still being published.
It has a very small genome (130-140 Mbp), five chromosomes and contains almost no repetitive DNA. Its genome will be completely sequenced by the end of 2000.
