Genome project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Genome projects are scientific endeavours that aim to map the genome of a living being or of a species (be it an animal or a plant or a fungus or a bacteria or an archaea or a protist) or a virus, that is, the complete set of genes caried by this living being or virus.
The Human Genome Project was such a project.
Some have argued that the era of genomics is one of the more fundamental advances in human history to date.
