The Human Genome Project (HGP) originated in the at the Department of Energy (DOE) meeting in Alta, Utah in December 1984, when the possible use of DNA analysis in detecting mutations among atomic bomb survivors was contemplated. Following lengthy deliberations, the government approved the program, and in 1988 the HGP was launched under the supervision of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and DOE. In 1990 it was shaped into the form of a 15-year program, designed to map and sequence the entire Human Genome and also of several model organisms, at a yearly budget of two hundred million dollars totaling three billion dollars, to end in the year 2005.
