Mapping the human genome was a project that was completed in the 20th century, and was named "The Human Genome Project". Its goal was to document all 3 billion DNA base pairs in the human genome, and to find the 25,000 human genes. Its main benefit in the field of medicine is locating chromosomal abnormalities that cause diseases before they develop into chronic, life-threatening diseases.
