The Human Genome Project
The Human Genome Project (HGP) stands as a monumental achievement in the field of exploration, albeit an inward one. International researchers embarked on a journey to sequence and map the entirety of our species' genes, collectively known as the genome of Homo sapiens. This ambitious project, spanning from October 1, 1990, to April 2003, provided humanity with the unprecedented ability to comprehend nature's complete genetic blueprint, revealing the intricate process of constructing a human being.
