Correction
Some copies of the July issue contained a sequencing gel photograph that was the victim of imprecise cropping, causing a frame shift that could result in an alteration of gene expression. We apologize for the mutation.
Growth in Readership
The number of subscribers, national and international, has grown from about 800 in April 1989 to over 4500 in August 1990, with more than 1/3 of that number requesting other documents as well. HGMIS welcomes this indication of interest in the Human Genome Project.

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.
