The Human Genome Project was initiated in 1995 as an
international collaborative project with the aim of determining
the DNA sequence of each of the human chromosomes and of
providing unrestricted public access to this information.
Sequencing data have been submitted by 16 collaborating
centres: eight from the United States, three from Germany, two
from Japan and one from France, China, and the UK
respectively. The UK contribution came from the Sanger
Centre at Hinxton in Cambridgeshire, jointly funded by the
Wellcome Trust and the Medical Research Council.
