Write the main objectives of HGP.

1.	Write the main objectives of HGP.
Answer» Objectives of HGP : (1) The goals of the original HGP were not only determine all 3 billion base pairs in the human genome with a minimal error rate, but also to identify’ all the genes in this vast amount of data. This part of the project is still ongoing although a preliminary count indicates about 30,000 genes in the human genome, which is far fewer than predicated by most scientists. (2) Another goal of the HGP was to develop faster and more efficient methods for DNA sequencing and sequence analysis and the transfer of these technologies to industry. (3) Another goal of the HGP is the study of its ethical, legal, and social implications. It is important to research these issues and find the most appropriate solutions before they become large dilemmas. Otherwise its effect will manifest in the form of major political concerns.
