In addition to the aim of mapping and sequencing one human's genome, the Human Genome Project also intends to characterise the genetic diversity of the world's peoples. The Human Genome Diversity Project raises political, economic and ethical issues. These intersect clearly when the genomes under study are those of indigenous peoples who are already subject to serious economic, legal and/or soc...

The initial goals of the Human Genome Project (HGP), to sequence the human genome and identify its constituent genes, are on the verge of being achieved. However, the scientific community recognizes that sequencing must be followed by understanding the manifold functions of human genes throughout the life-span, in health and in disease. In a Science interview (News Focus, 31 Mar., p. 2396), Fra...

As a result of the International Human Genome Project genetic information is rapidly multiplying. To avoid some of the problems regarding the availability and use of genetic information, it is sometimes suggested to apply the concept of ownership. This article focuses on the clarification of the status of genetic material and genetic information, obtained as a result of screening and counseling...

micrornas (mirnas) are short rna molecules which bind to target mrnas, resulting in translational repression and gene silencing and are found in all eukaryotic cells. approximately 2200 mirna genes have been reported to exist in the mammalian genome, from which over 1000 belong to the human genome. many major cellular functions such as development, differentiation, growth, and metabolism are kn...
