The scientific products of the human genome project will include a resource of genomic maps and DNA sequence information that will provide detailed information about the structure, organization, and characteristics of human DNA, information that constitutes the basic set of inherited "instructions" for the development and functioning of the human being. ... Genome maps of other organisms will be provided so we can compare them to the human genome. ... Medical practices will be altered when new clinical technologies based on DNA diagnostics are combined with information coming from genome maps....

Scientists are taking medical technology to new heights as they race to map all of the genes, nearly 100,000, in the 23 chromosomes of the human body .Along the way, they hope to understand the basis of, and maybe even create different methods of treating certain genetic diseases, like Alzheimer's and Muscular Dystrophy. ... The project was estimated to have detailed maps of all the chromosomes and know the location of most of the human genes by 1996. ...

Cloning is the production of an exact replica of a living cell from one parent cell (Kayotic). This process can be done in lab and for a complete copy of a whole organism; it takes as long as it would for the birth of a normal organism. There are many groups that believe cloning is against the na...

The History of Cloning The history behind the concept of cloning dates all the way back to 1902 when Walter Sutton proved chromosomes contained genetic information. This is what is widely accepted as the "beginning- of cloning, as we know it today. Also in 1902, Hans Spemann divided a salamand...
