Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. During the early years of the HGP, the Wellcome Trust (U.K.) became a major partner; additional contributions came from Japan, France, Germany, China, and others. See our history page for more information. Project goals were to identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, transfer related technologies to the private sector, and address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. Though the HGP is finished, analyses of the data will continue for many years. Follow this ongoing research on our Progress page. ... [Information of the supplier]
Based on the mapping of the human genome and the development of information databases, a broad description of genes transcribed in blood cells is now known. Hembase was developed to provide worldwide access to those genetic-based studies performed by scientists in the Molecular Biology and Genetics Section, Molecular Medicine Branch, Division of Intramural Research, National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). This project represents the shared goal of several individuals and groups (credits) interested in disseminating genomic information on the World Wide Web. ... [Information of the supplier]
An international research consortium has been formed to create the most detailed and medically useful picture to date of human genetic variation. The 1000 Genomes Project will involve sequencing the genomes of at least a thousand people from around the world. The project will receive major support from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Hinxton, England, the Beijing Genomics Institute Shenzhen in China and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Drawing on the expertise of multidisciplinary research teams, the 1000 Genomes Project will develop a new map of the human genome that will provide a view of biomedically relevant DNA variations at a resolution unmatched by current resources. As with other major human genome reference projects, data from the 1000 Genomes Project will be made swiftly available to the worldwide scientific community through freely accessible public databases. ...

The Neandertal genome project was initiated in 2006 to sequence the 3 billion bases that make up the complete genome of the closest human relative – the Neandertals. A multidisciplinary research consortium led by Svante Pääbo at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, is undertaking analysis of the sequence data which has been generated in collaboration with 454 Life Sciences and Illumina. ...

Volunteers from the general public working together with researchers to advance personal genomics. We believe individuals from the general public have a vital role to play in making personal genomes useful. We are recruiting volunteers who are willing to share their genome sequence and many types of personal information with the research community and the general public, so that together we will be better able to advance our understanding of genetic and environmental contributions to human traits. Learn more about how to participate in the Personal Genome Project. ... [Information of the supplier]

"Where do we come from?", "Who are we?", "Where are we going to?" The exhibition of the Neanderthal Museum is based on those central topics. One can find them in any part of the house. The permanent exhibition traces humankind's long journey from the origins in the African savannahs to the urban centres of our times. Of course, emphasis is given to the Neanderthals and the true-to-life figures based upon skeletal remains which were reconstructed using the latest forensic methods. Multimedia arrangements and audio-experiences, but also classical media such as exhibits and texts give vivid insights into the results of current archaeological and palaeoanthropological research. Computer terminals offer the opportunity for further individual in-depth research. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Anthropological Index Online is based on the journal holdings of The Anthropology Library at the The British Museum (formerly Museum of Mankind) which receives periodicals in all branches of anthropology, from academic institutions and publishers around the world. The data is (c) RAI and use is permitted for educational non-commercial purposes (including private study). Regular or heavy educational/academic use is licensed by the payment of a subscription. ...

The HCV database group strives to present HCV-associated genetic and immunologic data in a userfriendly way, by providing access to the central database via web-accessible search interfaces and supplying a number of analysis tools. (...) The HCV search interface allows you to find and download sequences on the basis of a number of criteria. (...) You can either download all sequences (as nucleotides or amino acid sequences) that meet your criteria, or you can limit your set to a specific gene or region by selecting that genomic region on the search interface. (...) ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
