This project was initiated by the United States in 1990 and ran until its completion in 2003. The purpose of this 13 year-long project was to uncover the secrets of a basic human genome(the entirety of the DNA in an organism). At its most basic level, the human genome contains a seemingly unlimited amount of information. The minds behind this research endeavored to discover and make sense of this information. As a result of this project, the scientific world has a much greater understanding of the building blocks of the human body and a greater capacity to treat diseases such as Alzheimer 's and AIDs. However, each genome is unique and anyone can contain a variation needed to fully understand a disease. This is what makes the genome so amazing, this certain combination of data makes up the entirety of you and only you. An individual’s “blueprints” to their existence should never be taken from them. In Dawn, Olivia Butler describes the reactions of humans who slowly lose everything that makes them
