The human genome is a human being’s complete set of genes contained within a sequence of chemical units (adenine, cytosine, guanine or thymine) unique to humans. At present, no human genome has been sequenced completely.
A draft of the genome sequencing was announced by two rivals- the public Human Genome Project (HGP) led by Francis Collins, and the private Celera Genomics, led by Craig Venter- on 26 June 2000. Neither of these genome sequencing projects was completed. HGP has progressed lesser than the other but permits the public to see their result free of cost whereas, Celera charges people for access. As of February 2004, relatively more information was published by both organizations.
Though the work is not complete, researchers have sequenced over a million human genomes by late 2018.
