Eukaryotic Genome Project

The Eukaryotic Genome Project is an initiative to map and understand the complete DNA sequence of complex organisms with nucleus-defined cells, such as plants, animals, and fungi. By decoding their genomes, scientists can identify genes, understand genetic functions, and explore how genetic variation influences health, development, and evolution. This project builds on previous efforts like the Human Genome Project, aiming to facilitate advances in medicine, agriculture, and biological research through detailed genetic insights, ultimately helping us better comprehend life's diversity and complexity at the molecular level.
