As a nursing student is preparing a presentation on the human genome project the student will point out the functional role of the human genome project in diagnosis and prevention of genetic disease.
She will point out how the human genome project has helped out to discover more than 1800 disease genes how the cause of any genetic disease can be found within days rather than years used to be taken before the completion of the human genome project.
She will also point out how the human genome project helped the evolution of gene therapy by sequencing all the nucleotides and identifying all the genes present in the human body.
Identification of human genes and functions Explanation:
The Human Genome Project was founded in 1990 and its primary purpose was to identify and label all human genes and their functions. Information from the HGP may eventually be used in genetic testing, the detection of mutations or variations in children, and gene therapy.
