IN ,1991 ,A project was started in USA to study the complete genetic material of humans.The genetic material also called 'genome' ,contains the information necessary for the development and the characteristics of a living organism .This information is present in the DNA which is a chemical compound , that looks like twisted rope ladder .In this project ,researchers wanted to find out about the individual components of the ladder .This was not at all easy because there was billions of components .Today almost all of them have been studied .The 'decoding' of the genetic material promises , a better understanding of and a cure for hereditary diseases.
