Are genetically modified organisms harmful to humans?
Genetically modified organisms are a group of organisms that have been genetically engineered, to create a new variety of them with the desired genes. This is done by transferring genes from one organism to the genome of another unrelated organism. Examples of organisms that are genetically modifie....

human genome project
The Human Genome Project (HGP) was formally begun in October 1990, and was completed 15 years later in 2003. The original goal of the project was to sequence all 20000-25000 genes in human DNA. That is to say, map the entire human genome, and store the information in large data bases so as to provid....
