Importance of the Human Genome

All scientific advances are always important, but few have given rise to the relevance of the discovery and final understanding of the human genome. The human genome is, in other words, the information contained in the chromosomes, which make the human being be as it is and that can be differentiated from others living beings. The human genome is what gives identity to each of us and has to do with our history genetics as well as physical and psychological traits that can be determined in advance. Obviously, knowledge of the human genome is a fundamental step to finish knowing exactly how a human being is constituted from the biological and genetic point of view.

To better understand the importance of the human genome, we can say that each one of us has genes that are transmitted by our ancestors. This information is stored in our chromosomes. They are responsible for storing this information and thus determine issues such as sex, eye color, type of hair, skin type, the composition of our organs, possible diseases or hereditary complications, our adaptation to the

environment, etc. This genetic information is also known as DNA. Although it allows us to differentiate one from another, it also allows us to establish basic rules of the human being that differentiate it from the rest of the living beings.

All this information shows magnificent relevance in regards to the work of science. Thus, from the discovery or the power to finally complete the sequence of the human genome, scientists can begin to develop numerous works and investigations. that have to do with the conformation of that genome, the way in which the human being conforms as a unique being, possible solutions or treatments to diseases or complications, etc
