The complete genome sequence is the classification of an organisms deoxyribonucleic acid sequence in a certain time. The classification of our DNA would help to understand the functions of our body and provide answers to diseases that affect and cause the mutation of the DNA.

The Human Genome Project was created to sequence and map all the genes in the human genome. Its primary goal was to identify and understand the complete set of DNA within human cells, including the genes that make up our genetic code.
A gene is a specific sequence of DNA that contains the instructions to make a functional product like a protein, while a genome is the complete set of an organism's genetic material, including all its genes. Think of a gene as a single instruction in a recipe book, and the genome as the entire recipe book.
The full human DNA sequence is known as the human genome. It consists of over 3 billion base pairs of DNA arranged in 23 pairs of chromosomes. The Human Genome Project completed the mapping of the entire human genome in 2003.
It was meant toidentify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA,determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA
The M13 phage was sequenced using traditional Sanger sequencing methods, which rely on chain-termination technology. This involved breaking down the phage's genome into smaller fragments, sequencing these fragments, and then assembling the sequences to reconstruct the complete genome. This method allowed scientists to determine the linear sequence of the DNA bases in the M13 phage genome.
