Human genome genome

ITS Sequence tagged site. A short DNA sequence that occurs just once in the human genome and whose location and base sequence are known... 

The International Human Genome Sequencing Consor tium was headed by Francis S Collins of the U S National Institutes of Health J Craig Venter led the Celera effort... 

The human genome sequence has been called the book of life and more modestly a tool box and an instruction manual Regardless of what we call it it promises a future characterized by a fuller understanding of human biology and medical science... 

Section 28 15 A rough draft of the sequence of nucleotides that make up the human genome has been completed There is every reason to believe that the increased knowledge of human biology it offers will dramatically affect the practice of medicine... 

Biotechnology. Particular attention must be paid to the detection of DNA in all finished biotechnology products because of the possibiUty that such DNA could be incorporated into the human genome and thus become a potential oncogene. The absence of DNA at the picogram-per-dose level should be demonstrated in order to assure the safety of biotechnology products (157).
