Summary

The Human Genome Project officially began in the USA in October 1990 under the auspices of the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) under the direction of Francis Collins. The objective was to build genetic and physical maps of the entire human genome, and at the same time to develop the technology needed to perform DNA sequencing on a large scale. Extensive international collaboration and advances in the field of genomics and bioinformatics enabled the first essentially complete version of the human genome (92.3% of the total) to be officially announced 13 years later, two years ahead of schedule, on April 14, 2003, with 99.9% reliability.
