Answer & Explanation: The Human Genome Project (HGP) created the a sequence of the human genome. This advanced medicine in a way that no one could of imagined. Because of the HGP the medical community might be able to identify an undiagnosed disease. Genomic analysis may help identify a diagnosis. Because of the HGP we have fast, large-scale, low-cost DNA sequencing. This has pushed genomics into "mainstream" medicine. This gives doctors the ability to diagnose inherited diseases, target cancer treatments, and identify health risks.
