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 projects are scientific endeavours that aim to map the genome of a living being or of a species (be it an animal, a plant, a fungus, a bacterium, an archaean, a protist or a virus), that is, ...

The Human Genome Project
" ...the acquisition of the sequence is only the beginning. The sequence information provides a starting point from which the real research into the thousands of diseases that have a genetic basis can begin." ...
The Human Genome Project is a massive, government-funded project whose goal is to determine the base sequence of all of the human chromosomes.
It would take 200 volumes of 1,000 pages each just to list the letters of the bases.
HGP -- Human Genome Project. HHMI -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Homologous chromosomes -- chromosomes that pair during meiosis; each homologue is a duplicate of one chromosome from each parent.
In genome projects, informatics includes the development of methods to search databases quickly, to analyse DNA sequence information, and to predict protein sequence and structure from DNA sequence data.
Yeasts are part of the Human Genome Project and serve as easily studied models for eukaryotic gene systems. Yeast chromosomes have also been modified to serve as vectors for transporting human DNA fragments for use in gene mapping.
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.
Obscured behind current media focus on the Human Genome Project, there is considerable activity in sequencing bacterial genomes. There are presently more than 30 published eubacterial genome sequences (data from TIGR).
This process, used by researchers in the Human Genome Project, is referred to as cloning DNA.Å The resulting cloned (copied) collections of DNA molecules are called clone libraries.

Older estimates of the number of genes in the human genome fall in the range 50-100 thousand. More recent estimates using data from the genome project are about 60-70 thousand.
Escherichia coli: A gram-negative bacterium whose genome has been sequenced in its entirety. It is model organisms for the study of the prokaryotes. Link to the E.coli genome project website.
