He also serves on the board of directors of the American Society of Human Genetics. With his colleagues Dorothy Wertz and Robin J.R. Blatt, Reilly writes and edits The Gene Letter, a DOE-supported electronic newsletter about genetics and public policy. Six issues of the newsletter, published since July 1996, are now on the Web [http://www.geneletter.com/].

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.
