Welcome to the Personal Genome Project Study Guide Website

Here you will find lessons and practice tests to help you pass the Personal Genome Project (PGP) entrance exam. The PGP is a project from Harvard Medical School.

In 2001, the Human Genome Project published a working draft of the human genome sequence, thus providing unprecedented advances in our knowledge of how a human works.

The PGP makes sequencing personal. Just like the personal computer brought information technology to individuals, the PGP brings DNA sequencing to individuals. To enroll in the project, participants must pass an entrance exam. The Alan and Priscilla Oppenheimer Foundation developed the Personal Genome Project Study Guide to help people pass the exam.
