<unk> , launched in January 2008, is an international research effort to establish by far the most detailed catalogue of human genetic variation. Scientists plan to sequence the<unk>  of at least one thousand anonymous participants from a number of different ethnic groups within the next three years, using newly developed faster and less expensive sequencing technologies.
The project unites multidisciplinary research teams from institutes around the world, including Britain, China and the United States.  Each will contribute to the enormous sequence dataset and to a refined human<unk> map, which will be freely accessible through public databases to the scientific community and the general public alike.
By providing an overview of all genetic variation, not only what is biomedically relevant, the consortium will generate a valuable tool for all fields of natural science, especially in the disciplines of Genetics, Medicine, Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics.
