	Advantages of Genome Sequencing Projects 1. They enables the determination of the complete genetic information present in the genomes of various organisms. 2. The relationships between genes can be deduced with confidence. 3. They provide insights into genome organization and evolution, and the mechanisms involved there in. 4. They have opened up exciting areas for future research, e.g., functional genomics.
5. One of the most ambitious expectations is that genome sequences will allow biologists to work out the various molecular interactions that lead to the normal development of the organisms. 6. Information like SNPs (single nucleotide polymorph isms) have become available. 7. A variety of tools and techniques were developed for the genome sequencing projects. 8. A better understanding of human genetic diseases should facilitate their management and cure. 9. It may provide an understanding of why different individuals respond differently to the same drugs (Pharmacogenomics). 10. The pathogenicity of microorganisms would be better understood. This should facilitate protection from such diseases.
