Medical Genetics Human genome project Collective name(Human Genome Initiative) for several projects begun in 1986 by doe to create an ordered set of DNA segments from known chromosomal locations, develop new computationa methods for analyzing genetic map and DNA sequence data, and develop new techniques and instruments for detecting and analyzing DNA. This DOE initiative is now known as the human genome Program. The joint national effort, led by DOe and nih is known as the human Genome ProjectMedical Genetics Human genome project Collective name (Human Genome Initiative ) for several projects begun in 1986 by DOE to create an ordered set of DNA segments from known chromosomal locations, develop new computational methods for analyzing genetic map and DNA sequence data, and develop new techniques and instruments for detecting and analyzing DNA.
