The revised and updated "Human Genome Landmarks: Selected Traits and Disorders Mapped to Chromosomes" is a colorful wall poster prepared by HGMIS, with printing and mailing costs supported by QIAGEN. Informative sidebars explain genetic terms and provide URLs for finding more detailed information on the Web. Expanded version. A copy will be mailed to all HGN print subscribers. Others may request a copy from the Web site.

The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome. See Timeline for more HGP history.
Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
