What is Human Genome Project ??

The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and functional standpoint. It remains the worlds largest collaborative biological project.

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was one of the great feats of exploration in history - an inward voyage of discovery rather than an outward exploration of the planet or the cosmos; an international research effort to sequence and map all of the genes - together known as the genome - of members of our species, Homo sapiens.

Myself, Muhammad Sarim Shahab – (Founder Member & C.E.O of “Research Lab for Human Genome”) started working on this project along with my friend Hani Jameel (Later on My Bussiness Partner) in 1996 when we were doing Bachelors in the field of Computer Science from DHA Suffa University. In the beginning, we even didn’t know the meaning of the word ‘Genome’, but our Teacher Mr. Rauf Ahmed Malick supported us and provided a platform to both of us and also gave a great opportunity to work on his interesting project as his assistants. It was the very first step and then days passed on and we were slowly attracting towards this project.

In 2000, After completing our Masters Program in DNA Sequencing / Human Genome Project, we had decided to continue our efforts by establishing a Laboratory for the research of DNA Sequencing, for the betterment of the Software to get more accurate information and annotations of Human Genome.

We both agreed to become a Bussiness Partner because we knew the Future importance of this field. By working together we had developed so many softwares, which the research institutes demanded for the Human Genome. Here are the names of some of them who are still using our product :

·         American Society of Human Genetics – 2003

·         University of Michigan for Human Genetics – 2005

·         University of Virginia – 2006

·         DNASTAR – 2008

·         National Instittute for Genome, Russia – 2009

And here are the some Global Achievements as a result of our combine effort :

·         Paul di Sant'Agnese Award of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation – 2002

·         Champions of Pediatric Research Award, Children's National Medical Center – 2005

·         The Biotechnology Industry Organization and The Chemical Heritage Foundation Third Annual Biotechnology Award – 2005

·         Walker Prize, Museum of Science, Boston – 2007

·         Breath of Life Award, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation – 2008

·         Scientist of the Year, National Disease Research Interchange – 2010

·         National Medical Research Award, National Health Council – 2011

And here are the some Honorary Doctoral Degrees :

Emory University, Mary Baldwin College, Yale University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, University of North Carolina, George Washington University, University of Pennsylvania, Brown University.

In 2012, I don’t know what happened to my partner suddenly, was it lust or anything else but finally he had decided for Partition of our Research Lab for Human Genome.

After mutual discussion, we both agreed upon to signed a Non Disclosure Agreement between us, that he will not share our future plans and project and will never work in the same field in any other organization. Then, I continued my services to provide more innovation in this project.

In 2014, I got the news 4 days ago that He is going to start work at National Human Genome Research Institute, Virginia as a Director of Innovations of Genome Generator Products.

As NDA was signed between us earlier that he will never work in this field again. Now, he is violating the policy and its illegal. So, I want to file a petition against My Ex-Bussiness Partner Mr. Hani Jameel.
