title: Molecular medicine: a primer for clinicians. Part XIII: The human genome project and the practice of medicine.
abstract: Publication earlier this year of the sequence of the human genome marked the end of one era of modern biology and initiated the beginning of another. This paper in our ongoing Molecular Medicine series briefly summarizes the history of the Human Genome Project, describes some of the major features of the structure and organization of the human genome and discusses some of the ways knowledge of the complete human genome might be clinically applicable in the near future.
