Science Functional Genomics
The Human Genome


A Genome Timeline
The publication of the draft sequence marks the culmination of nearly five decades of work, publication, and debate, much of it played out in the pages of Science. To provide a perspective on that long history, we've linked the genome timeline published in the 16 February 2001 Special Issue to some classic research articles, news coverage, and reviews that help illuminate the history behind this landmark event.



Sequence and Its Significance
Quick pointers to the sequences, analysis, and commentary in the Science and Nature special issues, along with coverage of the human genome in selected other journals.


Finding the Right Word
Rapid changes in bioinformatics, gene medicine, and postgenomics are confronting a wide variety of persons -- scientists, policymakers, journalists, the lay public -- with a great deal of unfamiliar terminology. To help you sort it out, we've gathered together links to some of the top online glossaries in genetics, genomics, and biomedicine.



Human Genome Links
Links to a selection of interesting resources on the sequence, its postgenomic scientific and medical applications, and its ethical, philosophical, and political dimensions.
