genome sequencing projects

Genome sequencing projects involve decoding the complete DNA sequence of an organism’s genome, which is its entire genetic blueprint. Using advanced technologies, scientists identify the order of billions of chemical building blocks (nucleotides) in DNA, revealing genes and genetic variations. These projects help us understand how genes function, how diseases develop, and how species are related. The information gained can lead to medical breakthroughs, improved agriculture, and insights into evolution. Overall, genome sequencing projects are large-scale efforts to map the genetic code that underpins living organisms.
