The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an immense international enterprise: probably the biggest biological experiment yet attempted. Researchers worked together to read the entire sequence of the DNA letters (bases) in the human genome - more than 3,000,000,000 of them. The 'gold standard' sequence was announced in 2003 and published in 2004.
