The Human Genome Project was an international effort that began in 1990 and completed in 2003 to map the entire human genome. It identified around 20,000 to 25,000 genes and has greatly advanced our understanding of genetic diseases and personalized medicine. The project also emphasized the ethical implications of genetic research.
