In the United States starts the largest project in the history of deciphering the DNA of a million people. Scientists symbolically called it All of Us.. This is reported on the website of the US National Institutes of Health..

Now 110 thousand volunteers are registered in the program, 60 thousand of whom have already passed the main stage of data collection..

Their main task, scientists note the study of the diversity of the human species and human genetic data. Thus, scientists hope to make a qualitative breakthrough in the identification and elimination of various kinds of diseases, and, as a result, an increase in human longevity..

Project All of Us has replaced the first large-scale international program of Human Genome, which started in 1990. Then the goal of scientists was to determine the structure of the human genome.. The main work was carried out in research centers in the USA, Canada and the UK.

In the course of the experiment, a group of American and South Korean scientists removed a gene with a mutation responsible for the development of the disease from the DNA of a human embryo..
