Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The Human Genome Project was an international, collaborative program, launched for conducting research on the human genome. It was the largest research program launched in 1990 and was completed on 14th April, 2003. It was originally planned for a period of 15 years but was declared finished in 13 years.
