The Human Genome Project: From Maps to Medicine is a new color brochure from the NIH National Center for Human Genome Research (NCHGR) about the genome project and its expected impact on medical genetics. A four-page foldout illustration depicts the flow of discovery from gene isolation to treatment for inherited illnesses. Suitable for a general audience.
Progress Report: Fiscal Years 1993-1994 reviews progress of the NCHGR Division of Extramual Research toward the goals of the U.S. Human Genome Project. The report, which is intended for a technical audience, lists accomplishments and resources available to the scientific community.

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.
