Want to identify all the 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, and to determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up the human genome. First broke the genome into pieces of approximately 150,000 base pairs in length. These pieces were then lined up into bacterial artificial chromosomes, which come from genetically engineered bacterial chromosomes. The pieces were then copied by the bacterial DNA replication machine, where they were separately sequenced as a minuscule shotgun project. Afterward, they were assembled.
