HGN chronicled the HGP from 1989 to 2002—facilitating communication among genome researchers and informing the public.
The DOE Genomic Science Program uses microbial and plant genomic data, high-throughput analytical technologies, and modeling and simulation to develop a predictive understanding of biological systems behavior relevant to solving energy and environmental challenges including bioenergy production, environmental remediation, and climate stabilization.
DOE JGI in Walnut Creek, California, provides state-of-the-science capabilities for genome sequencing and analysis. With more than 1100 worldwide collaborators on active projects, JGI is the preeminent facility for sequencing plants, microbes, and microbial communities that are foundational to energy and environmental research.
HGN chronicled the HGP from 1989 to 2002. It facilitated communication among genome researchers and informed persons interested in genome research.

Patrinos Wins Award as Distinguished Executive
This prestigious and unique award is granted to only 1% of career members of the government’s Senior Executive Services who have provided exceptional service to the American people over an extended period of time. Through a rigorous selection process focused on leadership in producing results, winners are nominated by their agency heads, evaluated by boards of private citizens, and approved by the President. Distinguished Executives receive a lump-sum payment of 35% of their base pay, a silver pin, and a framed certificate signed by the President.

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.
