HG, Human Genome Project

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international research effort that mapped the entire human DNA sequence, identifying all 20,000-25,000 genes. Completed in 2003, it provided a detailed blueprint of human genetic information, helping scientists understand how genes influence health, development, and disease. This knowledge paves the way for personalized medicine, improved diagnostics, and advances in genetics. The project was a collaborative milestone that has greatly expanded our understanding of human biology and opened new avenues for medical research.
