Human Genome Project
The Human Genome Project ( HGP ) is an international scientific research project with a primary goal of determining the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up DNA , and of identifying and mapping the approximately 20,000–25,000 genes of the human genome from both a physical and functional standpoint. [ 1 ] The project began in October 1990 [ 2 ] and was initially headed by Aristides Patrinos , head of the Office of Biological and Environmental Research in the U.S. Department of Energy 's Office of Science . Francis Collins directed the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Human Genome Research Institute efforts.
An Overview of the Human Genome Project What was the Human Genome Project? The Human Genome Project (HGP) was the international, collaborative research program whose goal was the complete mapping and understanding of all the genes of human beings. All our genes together are known as our "genome." The HGP was the natural culmination of the history of genetics research.

The Tyranny of Pi day March 14 th is \pi -day in the US (and perhaps 4.\overline{666} day in Europe). The idea of a day devoted to celebrating an important irrational number is wonderful — I’d love to see schools celebrate e -day as well, but February 71 st isn’t on the calendar. Unfortunately, March 14 th has also become the day in which 4 th and 5 th graders around the US practice for one of the most pointless exercises imaginable – a competition to recite the largest number of digits of \pi .
