﻿Eight ﻿years ago, Goncalo Abecasis explained to a group of scientists that he would sequence 1,000 genomes from people all over the globe, thus﻿ began the Human Genome Project. Now with the project coming to a conclusion, it has sequenced more than 2,500 human genomes from 26 separate groups of people all around the world. The first genome was published in 2003, and since then there have been many more.
