   Extractions: An Introduction The U.S. Human Genome Project (HGP), composed of the DOE and NIH Human Genome Programs, is the national coordinated effort to characterize all human genetic material by determining the complete sequence of the DNA in the human genome. The HGP's ultimate goal has been to discover all the more than 30,000 human genes and render them accessible for further biological study. To facilitate the future interpretation of human gene function, parallel studies have been carried out on selected model organisms. View timeline and history for background information on the project. The HGP will meet an ambitious schedule to complete the full sequence in 2003, two years ahead of previous projections. Technology available shortly after the start of the HGP in 1990 could have been used to attain HGP objectives, but the cost and time required would have been unacceptable. Because of this, a major emphasis of the project's early years was to optimize existing methods and develop new technologies to increase DNA mapping and sequencing efficiency by 10- to 20-fold. The genome was sequenced with technologies and methods that evolved over the past 10 years. In the course of completing the sequence, an interim "working draft" of the human sequence was produced and published in

6. The Human Transcript Map
   A guide to human genes produced by placing cDNA transcripts onto a map of the human genome. The Human Genome Project is expected to produce a sequence of DNA representing the functional blueprint  
   http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SCIENCE96
   
   Extractions: See GeneMap'98 T he Human Genome Project is expected to produce a sequence of DNA representing the functional blueprint and evolutionary history of the human species. However, only about 3% of this sequence is thought to specify the portions of our 50,000 to 100,000 genes that encode proteins. Thus an important part of basic and applied genomics is to identify and localize these genes in a process known as transcript mapping. When genes are expressed, their sequences are first converted into messenger RNA transcripts, which can be isolated in the form of complementary DNAs (cDNAs). Approximately half of all human genes had been sampled as of 15 June, 1996. A small portion of each cDNA sequence is all that is needed to develop unique gene markers, known as sequence tagged sites or STSs, which can be detected in chromosomal DNA by assays based on the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). To construct a transcript map, cDNA sequences from a master catalog of human genes were distributed to mapping laboratories in North America, Europe, and Japan. These cDNAs were converted to STSs and their physical locations on chromosomes determined on one of two radiation hybrid (RH) panels or a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) library containing human genomic DNA. This mapping data was integrated relative to the human genetic map and then cross-referenced to cytogenetic band maps of the chromosomes. (Further details are available in the accompanying article in the 25 October issue of SCIENCE).

   Extractions: SCIENCE FRIDAY... Science Friday Archives June Hour One: Human Genome Project / Genetics Update As rumors swirled around the genetics community that the Celera corporation was within days of releasing the full results of their human genome sequencing work, Craig Venter, head of Celera, and Francis Collins, head of the National Institutes of Health genome project, said that their two projects really were not racing to the finish at all. At an NIH conference on genetics and cancer this week, the two scientists said that their roles "complemented" each other. Furthermore, the Celera leader said that all the company's genome data would be made freely available, not sold privately to pharmaceutical and biotech companies. This unusually friendly meeting between the two scientists comes during a busy time for genetics research. Earlier his month, Celera announced that it had sequenced 1/3 of the mouse genome. In March, the company published the data for the gene sequence of the fruit fly, a favorite of biologists. In other news, the actual number of genes in the human genome is in debate. Estimates range from about 30,000 to over 100,000but noone really knows. Dueling papers in the journal Nature Genetics, and a debate at a recent conference at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, have increased the speculation. (There's even a sweepstakes running in which scientists bet on the number of genes that code for proteins, winner take all.)

   Extractions: Current News Releases 2004 Release Scientists Compare Rat Genome BETHESDA, Md., Wed., March 31, 2004 - An international research team, supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced it has completed a high-quality, draft sequence of the genome of the laboratory rat, and has used that data to explore how the rat's genetic blueprint stacks up against those of mice and humans. In a paper published in the April 1 issue of the journal Nature , the Rat Genome Sequencing Project Consortium describes its efforts to produce and analyze a draft sequence of the Brown Norway strain of the laboratory rat ( Rattus norvegicus ). The project, led by the Human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, was primarily funded by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), $58.5 million, and the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), $60 million. "This is an investment that is destined to yield major payoffs in the fight against human disease," said NIH Director Elias A. Zerhouni, M.D. "For nearly 200 years, the laboratory rat has played a valuable role in efforts to understand human biology and to develop new and better drugs. Now, armed with this sequencing data, a new generation of researchers will be able to greatly improve the utility of rat models and thereby improve human health."

    Extractions: Welcome to the Human Genome Project, "Exploring Our Molecular Selves" online multimedia educational kit. The Human Genome Project (HGP) began in 1990 as an effort by researchers from around the world to map and sequence the human genome - the totality of human DNA - as well as the genomes of important experimental organisms, like yeast, the nematode worm, and mouse. In 2000, the collaborators in the HGP announced the completion of a draft revealing 90% of the human sequence and in February 2001, the initial analysis of the human genome sequence was published in the scientific literature. To mark this occasion, the Human Genome Project released a free, multimedia educational kit for high school students and the interested public. A limited number of kits were produced and distributed within the first year of the release in February 2001. In order to continue to provide broad access of these materials, the contents of the education kit were reformatted and are available on this website in two formats; download modules or online viewing. Additionally, the online version contains two segments that are not available for download. The contents of both versions are listed below.
