The Human Genome Project

The Human Genome Project is an international effort to decipher the genetic code for each of the 24 human chromosomes, (22 pairs of autosomes, two sex chromosomes, and a mitochondrial chromosome. Here is an excellent starting point for more information about The Human Genome Project. If you'd like to know more about the molecular biological methods used in the mapping efforts, then try a Primer on Molecular Genetics.
