|content= A Flashv8 animation entitled: 'How the human genome was sequenced'.   
|strategy=This lesson idea provides details of the International Human Genome Project – including the scientific technique of DNA sequencing, scientists’ international collaboration and the HGP’s project outcomes – this ‘animation’ resource covers key A level material alongside insights into ‘How science can work’. Guidance is provided on how to use the resource for whole class discussion and/or small group-work: to engage students with the science and the issues (economic, political, ethical, legal and social issues) of scientific projects such as the HGP.

|Learning Objectives=By the end of this lesson, students should be able to discuss the outcomes of the Human Genome Project that are being used in the development of new drugs and the social, moral and ethical issues this raises as well as discuss what the Genome projects tell us and what they don't.

|additional resources=There is a requirement to view and run the animation on a computer (needs flash plugin). Alternatively there are student information sheets (see details below) this requires the provision of print outs. The Human Genome Project student information sheet with details of sequencing within the context of the Human Genome Project can be acceded at: http://www.yourgenome.org/downloads/pdf/teachers/info/HGP_infosheet.pdf
