Big Science Projects

What is the conclusion can scientists make about the HGP?

• where genes begin and end, but the function of most of the human genome was still unknown

• where genes begin and end, where transcription factors bind, and what areas of the genome turn genes on and off

• that the human genome has many more genes than previously thought, about 100,00 genes total

• the locations of the common mutations that cause disease in humans
