The Human Genome Project

The Human Genome Project is a $3 billion, 15-year international attempt to map the human genome (the collective name of the 50,000+ genes in our chromosomes). This information could become useful to medical science as scientists isolate and identify the genes that cause the human body to break down and wear out. This could it turn lead to longer life and the death of disease as man knows it.
