Web Resources
From time to time HGN will list pertinent uniform resource locators (URLS) for sites of interest to our readers. Although some of these sites are not related directly to molecular biology or biology, their subject matter is important to many investigators in the Human Genome Project and those using its data.
Editor's note: URLs removed as they become unavailable. Please see the Virtual Library: Genetics [https://public.ornl.gov/hgmis/genetics/default.cfm] for more links.
