An international effort is now underway to determine the complete
nucleotide sequence of the human genome (about 3.5X10^9 nucleotides)
as well as those of other biomedically important organisms.  In
accomplishing this goal, large regions of raw sequence data will be
generated, and major tasks will include analysis to identify and
characterize genes within the sequence data.  Statistical analysis and
computer algorithms will be the primary tools to address these
problems.  In this talk, I will first present the motivation for the
human genome project and then discuss my current work on the
statistical basis for identifying eukaryotic genes.
