The chronology of the reseach on human genome on the second half of XXth century were: 1953, 1957, 1966, 1972, 1975, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1995, 1998, 1999 and 2000

In June 26, 2000, doctor Collins and Venter released the results of research of human genome. As the results, the human genome has 3.12 billion nucleotides (nu) of which the sequence of 97% nucleotides were identified. There were 60.000 -100.000 genes found among 3.12 billion nucleotides. The human genome is identical from one to another (99.9%) although there is a difference of races, skin color. Genome is a foundation of the biology and considered as an electronic central nerve of the cells. The basic techniques for research on genes comprise the DNA recombination, chemical analysis (MAXAM GILBERT) and method SANGER.

An increasing number of primate genomes are being sequenced. A direct comparison of repeat elements in human genes and their corresponding chimpanzee orthologs will not only give information on their evolution, but also shed light on the major evolutionary events that shaped our species. We have developed REPEATOME to enable visualization and subsequent comparisons of human and chimpanzee repeat elements. REPEATOME (http://www.repeatome.org/) provides easy access to a complete repeat element map of the human genome, as well as repeat element-associated information. It provides a convenient and effective way to access the repeat elements within or spanning the functional regions in human and chimpanzee genome sequences. REPEATOME includes information to compare repeat elements and gene structures of human genes and their counterparts in chimpanzee. This database can be accessed using comparative search options such as intersection, union, and difference to find lineage-specific or common repeat elements. REPEATOME allows researchers to perform visualization and comparative analysis of repeat elements in human and chimpanzee.

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies are the method of choice for discovering loci associated with common diseases. More than a thousand GWA studies have reported successful identification of statistically significant association signals in human genomes for a variety of complex diseases. In this review, I discuss some of the issues related to the future of GWA studies and their biomedical applications.

Recent rapid advances in genetic research are ushering us into the genome sequence era, where an individual's genome information is utilized for clinical practice. The most spectacular results of the human genome study have been provided by genome-wide association studies (GWASs). This is a review of the history of GWASs as related to my work. Further efforts are necessary to make full use of its potential power to medicine.

The Human Genome Project is an international cooperative project that launched in 1990 and completely finished in April 14, 2003. The discovery of pathogenic genes is promising that light up the pathogenesis of many diseases in human. In the future, the understanding of these genes is helpful for patients and physicians, but the first advantages are in diagnosis and prognosis. It’s hoped to bring about new more effective therapies tailored for each patient according to his genome in the next 5 years

The completion of the rough draft of the human genome is a remarkable achievement. It provides the overall structures of huge DNA molecules that constitute the genome and an outline of the information needed to create a human being This paper reviewed new ideas, projects, and scientific advances made by the Human Genome Project. We also discussed the future of medicine and biomedical research in postgenomic era.

Human personal genome sequencing can be done with high efficiency by aligning a huge number of short reads derived from various next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies to the reference genome sequence. One of the major obstacles is the incompleteness of human reference genome. We tried to analyze the effect of hidden gene duplication on the NGS data using the known example of hydin gene. Hydin2 , a duplicated copy of hydin on chromosome 16q22, has been recently found to be localized to chromosome 1q21, and is not included in the current version of standard human genome reference. We found that all of eight personal genome data published so far do not contain hydin2, and there is large number of nsSNPs in hydin. The heterozygosity of those nsSNPs was significantly higher than expected. The sequence coverage depth in hydin gene was about two fold of average depth. We believe that these unique finding of hydin can be used as useful indicators to discover new hidden multiplication in human genome.
