Breezetta L. Narcisse. The Human Genome Project is a 15 year, 3 billion dollar venture whose goals involve identifying the 80,000 genes in human DNA and determining the sequences of the 3 billion chemical bases that make up human DNA.Genes are made up of a threadlike material called DNA.DNA contains four main ingredients, which are called bases. A single gene may contain thousands of bases, so the Human Genome Project (HGP) is not any easy task. First, scientists have to go into the cells nucleus, where the DNA is located.Here the DNA is tightly coiled, so researchers have to uncoil it and then examine the DNA and write down the order of the bases.NA contains four main ingredients, which are called bases.
