The latest news from the National Human Genome Research Institute, the organization that directed the publicly funded sequencing effort.
The company that directed the commercial venture to sequence the human genome.
This NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information) viewer has up-to-date information on the location of genes, markers, and BAC clones on the human genome.
3% of the Genome Project's budget is spent researching the ethical, legal, and social issues surrounding the Project. This site from the Department of Energy describes some of these issues, including gene testing, patenting, and behavioral genetics.
This database is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere.
