Human Genome Quarterly, Spring 1989; 1(1)
As a representative of the Human Genome Management Information System, sponsored by the Department of Energy (DOE) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, we would like to welcome you to our first publication of the Human Genome Quarterly. Our role in the Human Genome Program is:
To fulfill these goals, we will be producing technical reports (topics to be selected by DOE), the Human Genome Quarterly, and an electronic bulletin board, which is currently on-line. It will be available to interested persons later this year and will feature:
In this first issue of the Human Genome Quarterly, our goal was to give the reader an overview of DOE's role and organization with respect to the Human Genome Program.
We invite and welcome suggestions as to content and format as well as contributions for publication. We will make every attempt to address the issues brought forward by our readers. Please direct correspondence to our address at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

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.
