So kiddo, have you ever wondered how our body works and why we look like our parents? Do you know that we have a special code inside our body called DNA that tells our body everything about us? The 100,000 Genomes Project is a big research project where scientists are trying to understand more about our DNA code to help people with diseases.
You know that sometimes people can get sick and their doctors may not know what's wrong with them. Scientists think that sometimes this happens because of changes in our DNA, which can make us prone to certain diseases. The 100,000 Genomes Project is trying to find out more about these changes in DNA so that they can understand why certain diseases happen and how to treat them better.
Basically, the scientists are collecting DNA samples from 100,000 people, and they're studying these samples to find patterns that are linked to different types of diseases. This will help them to create better treatments for these diseases.
It's a really big project, and it will take a long time for the scientists to collect all the DNA samples and analyze them. But hopefully, by doing this, they will find out important things about our DNA code and how to treat diseases.
