human genome project

The Human Genome Project is a transnational, interdisciplinary, and large-scale exploration project aimed at obtaining the sequences of all nucleotide bases that make up the human genome, in order to map the human genome. This map provides a detailed record of human genetic information and is known as the 'second anatomical map of the human body'. The program was officially launched in 1990 and completed in 2003, with the participation of scientists from the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, and China. China was responsible for determining 1% of the entire sequence. Its success not only directly promoted the establishment of genomics, but also marked a big step forward for humanity in understanding its own genetic mysteries, opening up new paths for future scientific research and medical practice.

The unit is designed for unsupervised public use: controls are recessed or shielded, moving parts are enclosed, and the interface is operable by a child of about six with no instruction. Where a screen is used, the language can be switched without changing the hardware, and the content can be replaced on site.

The Human Genome Project is a large-scale, interdisciplinary scientific exploration project. Its purpose is to determine the nucleotide sequence consisting of 3 billion base pairs that make up the human chromosome (referring to haploid), in order to draw a human genome map and identify the genes and their sequences it carries, with the ultimate goal of deciphering human genetic information. As of April 14, 2003, the plan took about 13 years and cost 3 billion US dollars, finally completed. As the only participating developing country, China has completed the sequencing, assembly, and annotation of the approximately 30 Mb region on the short arm telomere side of human chromosome 3, accounting for about 1% of the entire human genome sequencing and annotation work, hence also known as the "1% Project". This section is also known as the "Chinese Volume" of the Human Genome Project.
