      Nope, I use the information everyday in my studies though. So I am very grateful for it. Have you checked out their website?

      No. But I’ve used some of the data that’s come out of it, like looking at which single point mutations might be important in disease.

      No, unfortunately not! The genome of the worm we work with was the first genome of a mulitcellular animal to be sequenced though 🙂

      No, but I use what they found a lot!

      Hey tpgovind,

      most scientists working in human biology have worked in relation to the human genome project! My work is definitely linked, it’s really useful to understand how my gene is expressed.
