The Human Genome project and other genetic mapping endeavors hope to discover what makes man "tick".  So doing, they may be able to help doctors test succeptibility to disease and allergies to drugs.  They may be able to help genetic engineers by giving them more insight into where traits are located.  Many areas of science will be affected by genetic mapping.  Read on to learn how scientists are going about this herculean effort.
