Answer:
pinpoint disease-causing genes and possibly prevent or treat them
Explanation:
Human genome project aimed to identify all the genes present in human DNA followed by deciphering their respective location and functions. Identification of genes and their function help the scientist to identify the faulty gene responsible for a disease. It can help in prevention of the disease. Once the gene is identified, the disease can be cured using gene therapy to replace the faulty nonfunctional gene with the functional counterpart.
