Abstract: Recent progress in molecular biology based upon rapidly developing DNA technology is reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the developing human genome project that includes structural as well as functional analyses of the genome. Expression profiling of active genes in the body helps construct a database for the functional aspects of the human genome.

Keywords: Human genome project, DNA technology, Expression profiling of genes, Body map, cDNA analysis
