Human lead completion genome project outcomes mapping number

Text	The completion of the Human Genome Project in 2003 lead to many outcomes: Mapping – The number, location, size and sequence of human genes is now established Screening – This has allowed for the production of specific gene probes to detect sufferers and carriers of genetic diseases Medicine – The discovery of new proteins have lead to improved treatments (pharmacogenetics and rational drug design) Ancestry – Comparisons with other genomes have provided insight into the origins, evolution and migratory patterns of man
