1000 genomes project

Scientists will map the 1% of the genetic material that varies between people,this 1% often explains the differences in people's health.
The project will cost about $50million(£26million) and about 3 years to complete,will be freely avaible allowing researchers to pinpoint genes responible for genetic disorders quickly and match treatments to patients.
Researchers will study 1,000 genes of 1,000 people.
