The human genome project and molecular anthropology.

It has been -10 years since the idea of determining the complete nucleotide sequence of the human genome was first proposed as a "big-science" project to the scientific community at the 1986 meeting at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory on the molecular biology of Homo sapiens (Bodmer 1986). The ensuing decade has seen the realization of this goal as a worthy endeavor, and an enormous amount of prog...

Human Genome Project-based applications in forensic science, anthropology, and individualized medicine.

www.cmj.hr Although the first official assembly of the International Society for Applied Biological Sciences (ISABS) was held in 2004, the Society had actually started with its activities in 1997 by organizing the international meeting in forensic and clinical genetics “First European-American Intensive Course in PCR Based Clinical and Forensic Testing.” In accordance with the Society’s mission...

The Human Genome Project.

Dear readers, The last few decades have seen a number of exciting developments in genetics. First, Watson and Crick broke the genetic code; since then, tech-nologic and methodologic breakthroughs have permitted the study and direct manipulation of our DNA. Now there is an international ground swell to map and sequence the human genome. The Bush administration had originally requested $128 milli...

The Human Genome Project

genetic mapping; DNA; applied research; molecular genetics T Human Genome Project is an international research project whose primary mission is to decipher the chemical sequence of the complete human genetic material (i.e., the entire genome), identify all 50,000 to 100,000 genes contained within the genome, and provide research tools to analyze all this genetic information. This ambitious proj...
