HGP was launched in 1988, with the Nobel laureate Dr. James D. Watson as the Director and the project envisaged.

The Human Genome Project originally aimed to map the nucleotides contained in a human haploid reference genome (more than three billion)

Objective of the Human Genome Project is to understand the genetic makeup of the human species, the project has also focused on several other nonhuman organisms such as E. coli, the fruit fly and the laboratory mouse.

Project identified and mapped the approximately 20000-25000 genes of the human genome from the physical and functional stand point.
