In the late 1980s, the United States embarked on a major undertaking: the human genome project.

The human genome bears witness to this process, too.

The human genome project opens up the possibility of eliminating certain inherited, genetic diseases.

The publication of the research may puzzle those who thought that the race to the human genome was over last June.
