    You must have had a lot of information because I hear this is a 13 year project. I'm very interested in genetics.

    Wow, what a very interesting website

    very interesting

    This is all fantastic, but i can't find, info about from who donated the reference DNA, a little of history would be good to fill that gap?

    I believe that the Human Genome project is an extremely fascinating thing. Just the wild thoughts and dreams of the positive, and radically helpful differences that can be had by such research is astounding. The only question that I harbor is this: In the inevitable future, when the world has gone this far, what is the likelihood that we could see bio-engineered people. Certain, select individuals that are born for a discrete purpose i.e. to be the best player ever (in his/her respective sport), to be the next president/prime minister/dictator of a major, etc. Will this be a possible future? Or are the only boons hopefully on the more positive side of finding cures for all of our ailments? Which will raise my final question of how long we should extend our lives and what that rippling effect could have on the world. --Thank you for your time. I know these are serious questions and you don't have to answer them directly, but I am merely curious as to whether or not we are aware of the possibilities and responsibilities as well as ramifications of all that is said or done in regards to this important research area.

    Bravo, Carlos, Bravo

    Thanks to NHGRI people because these material is very useful to learn about The Human Genome, thus, I will enhance my proposal to a goverment scholarship to study national doctoral program in computer science, with focus in bioinformatics.
