The human genome project has successfully created a dna genome database. This huge international task has been called the start of the “genetic revolution”. The database now contains the the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up the human DNA genome.
Genome science
The genome database provides researchers with an invaluable tool for their investigations into genome science.
Research using the human genome is looking at the inheritance of heart disease but there is a way to go until this is further understood.
If there are one or more members of your family who have suffered from some form of heart complaint then you should consider performing your assessment as this will help you to get a grasp of any possible potential for your future heart disease.
The DNA genome is not something that the general public needs to have a detailed knowledge of but it is reassuring to know that the genome science community is being well served by this remarkable achievement. |
