In biology the genome of the organism is the whole hereditary information of an organism that is encoded in the DNA or of some RNA viruses. You must note that this include both the gene and the non-coding sequence. In other words one can say that the genome is the complete description of the DNA sequence. It is the Genome which really defines the DNA sequence.

With the admission of the bio technology I must say that the whole concepts in the medicinal world are really changing. This is just like the invention of the atomic number. You must remember how the domination of the atomic mass was over shadowed by the atomic number.

The genome is also quiet similar to it. I must really feel that the genome is one of the most important aspects ever since the biotechnology has been introduced. You must have heard about the human genome project.

I would definitely like to add the human genome project in the conversation. I do feel that you too must be feeling very eager to know about the human genome project. This project started in the year 1990 under the custody of James D. Watson. The main target was to really get the detail of the DNA sequence of the human body. But at first the experiments was carried on animals like fruit fly and the laboratory mouse.

Many experiments were carried out and many genomes or the gene sequence were registered. Ever since the time the genome project has started the genome project team has really come up with some of the great results and this has revolutionized the field of biotechnology.

It is being attempted to find out the proper gene sequence of the human being and what gene sequence from the particular organ. There is really an attempt to develop those gene sequences in the laboratory.

Almost all the goals of the human genome projects have really been fulfilled and I must say that the projects have finished much before the projected time. You should know that at first the project members really decided to find the sequence of the 95 % of the DNA in the human body. I must say that not only they were able to finish the project in less time but you should also note that they were able to find the sequence of almost 99 % of the gene sequence. This was really something which was really not thought of.

No body really had an idea that the genome project team will come up with such a great results. But it really happened and we are really on the verge to make a human clone quiet soon and I do feel that this will be a tremendous achievement in the field of medical science.
