→ Human Genome Project is called a megaproject because of the following reasons:
(1) The human genome has 3 x 10⁹ base-pair 9 approximately and if it is required 3 US dollars per base pair then its estimated cost will go approximately to 9 billion US dollars.
(2) If its sequence were stored in a book in the typed form then each page will consist of 1000 letters and each book will consist of approximately 1000 pages which led to the formation of 3300 books from a single human cell. → For all this, high computational devices are required for data storage, retrieval and analysis
