Use of the menus requires emulation of a VT100 terminal (8 data bits, a stop bit, full duplex, parity none) and a 1200-baud modem. Log on is automatic after calling 301/881-4909 and answering the prompts with the word "common" followed by return/enter. Telephone service is the only charge.

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.
