Human Genetic Resources

Human Genetic Resources

• Designer Genes
  This site was created by high school and junior high school students as an entry in the 1998 ThinkQuest web design contest. The site offers a remarkably clear, detailed non-technical overview of genetics.

• Primer on Molecular Genetics (DOE)
  The Primer on Molecular Genetics is very much like an introductory biology text, teaching the core fundamentals of genetics (DNA, gene mapping, linkage, etc).

• Genlink
  GenLink is a multimedia database resource for human genetics that is currently under development. GenLink will provide linkage mapping information and software tools that will facilitate the integration of physical and genetic linkage data to produce unified maps of the human genome.

• Human Genome Project Information

• Human Genome Project at Los Alamos National Laboratory
  The LANL center's goals include assembly of complete high-resolution (0.1 Mb) maps of chromosome 16 and regions of chromosome 5, studies at the molecular level of chromosome structure and function, and isolation of selected genes of interest on chromosomes 5 and 16.

• The Human Molecular Genetics Page at HUM MOL-GEN
  

• Human Molecular Genetics Group
  The home page for the Human Molecular Genetics Group, led by Dr. Nabeel Affara, contains a host of information regarding the human Y chromosome. An anonymous FTP site is available to their data.

• Human STS vs YAC Screening Data
  This site is a searchable database that lets you search for markers, YAC's and contigs. You must have a forms-capable browser to use this service.

• List of the Human Genome Databases
  This site is a good resource for the various databases that contain Human Genome information.

• Stanford Human Genome Server
  The Stanford Human Genome Center is a research facility dedicated to mapping and sequencing DNA in the human genome. Their World Wide Web (WWW) site will soon have an interface to a Sybase database of genetic information.

• Classic Papers in Genetics

• University of Michigan Human Genome Center

• National Center for Genome Resources
