Human Genome Project is just a luxury of the banquet, the results of the implementation of the scheme has a huge differenence with originally envisaged. The idea of “Human Genome Project” is relatively simple, for the 20th century estimated the achievements of life sciences is unpractical, especially for DNA sequencing. Some scientists think that as long as the master of the DNA sequence on the grip of the secret of life. However, although the completion of the Human Genome Project was celebrated in April 2003 and sequencing of the human chromosomes is essentially “finished,” the exact number of genes encoded by the genome is still unknown. The results achieved a large gap between it is “anticipate”.

In the end how many genes are there of human? It is generally think there is around 100,000 genes more than 10 years ago, in 2001 the international Human Genome Project published 30,000-40,000 human genes. Then in 2004, Collins, director of “National Human Genome Research Institute,” estimated that only 20,000-25,000. The tiny nematode actually have around 19,500 genes, is also about small Arabidopsis gene 27000.

The formation of this gap reflects the people’s “knowledge” and “idea” of possible errors. If you do not reverse the wrong idea, even further to carry out various “group study” and other major scientific research, may not solve the problem.
