41. Ethical Issues Of The Human Genome Project
    Ethical Issues of the Human Genome Project. Mapping funding. Original proposals for the project emphasized sequencing the entire human genome.  
    http://www.accessexcellence.org/AB/IE/Ethical_Issues_of_the_HGP.html
    
    Extractions: "Mapping and Sequencing the Human Genome: Science, Ethics, and Public Policy." Developed by BSCS, in collaboration with the American Medical Association, under the U.S. Department of Energy Grant #DE-FG02-91ER61147. Critics express several concerns about the Human Genome Project (HGP), and most involve the extent of the project or its funding. Original proposals for the project emphasized sequencing the entire human genome. This goal, however, is controversial because of the high cost and because many critics believe that sequencing a huge amount of noncoding DNA should have low priority in a time of limited funds for research. On the other hand, most individuals involved in the project agree that detailed genetic and physical maps would be extremely useful. Therefore, mapping of the genome now is the primary goal, with complete sequencing to follow only if the cost becomes reasonable. Only about 5 percent of the genome contains sequences that are coding regions, and some biologists still maintain there is little point in sequencing the other 95 percent. Because biologists already know that several regulatory signals are in noncoding regions of DNA, a compromise has been reached. A few pilot sequencing projects are focusing on sequencing certain coding regions that are most likely to contain information valuable to the medical and biological communities. A major criticism of the HGP is similar to that raised against other mega-science projects such as the space station or the superconducting supercollider: The high cost is not justified. This big science vs. little science argument maintains that funding such large-scale projects takes scarce resources from researchers who may study certain areas of particular interest more efficiently. Conversely, others argue that coordination of the HGP is a more efficient way to conduct research in human genetics because it minimizes duplication of effort.

42. Human Genome Project Could Revolutionize Medicine
    Offers an article on how the Human Genome Project could revolutionize medicine.  
    http://healthlink.mcw.edu/article/1009398335.html
    
    Extractions: Subscribe now >> The Human Genome Project, which has researchers worldwide mapping the genes of the human body, will likely change how medicine is practiced in the future. By understanding which genes control diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer’s and hypertension, physicians might someday be able to prevent diseases or reduce their effects by properly assessing and responding to genetic medical risks in advance. “The project’s goal is to define a ‘parts list’ of what makes us human,” says Howard J. Jacob, PhD, at the Medical College. “Researchers are defining the chemical compounds of the genome and determining where specific genes are located on the chromosomes that make us human. Once we know the locations of the genes, we can then understand how the parts come together and function.” The Human Genome Project officially began in 1990 as a 15-year program to characterize in detail the complete set of genetic instructions of humans and some important laboratory organisms. Progress on those original goals has been faster than expected – the first fully completed, highly accurate reference sequence of the human genome is expected by the end of 2003. Apart from the genome project, there are now a few laboratory tests to determine genetic risks for certain types of cancer and other diseases. However, treatments to address genetic risks are still years away.

46. Your Genes, Your Choices: Exploring The Issues Raised By Genetic Research
    Your Genes, Your Choices describes the Human Genome Project, the science behind it, and the ethical, legal, and social issues that are raised by the project.

    Extractions: Table of Contents Your Genes, Your Choices describes the Human Genome Project, the science behind it, and the ethical, legal, and social issues that are raised by the project. This book was written as part of the Science + Literacy for Health project of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy AAAS has a strong commitment to science literacy and the public understanding of science. Through its Directorate for Education and Human Resources Programs, AAAS has been a leader in identifying and meeting the needs of underrepresented groups in science. Science + Literacy for Health fits into this vision of making science accessible to everyone. Most people think that science is remote from the work they do, the lives they lead, and the decisions that they make day by day. Nothing could be further from the truth. Your Genes, Your Choices points out how the progress of science can potentially "invade" your life in the most direct ways, affecting the choices you make at the grocery store, your own health care and that of your family, and even your reproductive decisions. The connection between science and health is a direct one, and your ability to understand the science behind health affects your ability to understand the issues and the stakes. Science may seem difficult, because scientists often use technical language to talk about abstract ideas. This book has been written to introduce you to important ideas, but also to convince you that you can understand the basic concepts of science and that it is important to do so.

    Extractions: Lincoln Stein's website is http://stein.cshl.org DATE: Early February, 1996 LOCATION: Cambridge, England, in the conference room of the largest DNA sequencing center in Europe. OCCASION: A high level meeting between the computer scientists of this center and the largest DNA sequencing center in the United States. THE PROBLEM: Although the two centers use almost identical laboratory techniques, almost identical databases, and almost identical data analysis tools, they still can't interchange data or meaningfully compare results. THE SOLUTION: Perl. The human genome project was inaugurated at the beginning of the decade as an ambitious international effort to determine the complete DNA sequence of human beings and several experimental animals. The justification for this undertaking is both scientific and medical. By understanding the genetic makeup of an organism in excruciating detail, it is hoped that we will be better able to understand how organisms develop from single eggs into complex multicellular beings, how food is metabolized and transformed into the constituents of the body, how the nervous system assembles itself into a smoothly functioning ensemble. From the medical point of view, the wealth of knowledge that will come from knowing the complete DNA sequence will greatly accelerate the process of finding the causes of (and potential cures for) human diseases.

52. The Scientist :: Human Genome Project Complete
    Human Genome Project complete. But the Human Genome Project is a leap forward for mankind infinitely more complex than any lunar landscape, he said.  
    http://www.biomedcentral.com/news/20030415/03
    
    Extractions: It's not completely complete, and perhaps never will be. But the version of the human genome sequence that opened for business yesterday (April 14) at the University of California-Santa Cruz is so accurate that scientists will be consulting it for the next several centuries, Francis Collins, who heads the US National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), told The Scientist "You can think of this as the end of the high-throughput phase of human sequencing. The fact that it's yielded up 99% of the gene-containing DNA at this level of accuracy means that almost everybody who is looking for answers from the genome will find it in the most final form that they ever could have dreamed of," Collins said. The remaining gaps, numbering about 400, comprise about 1% of the gene-containing euchromatin. "We've known for a long time that there are parts of the human genome that cannot be reliably sequenced, or even in most instances cloned, because they're unstable in all known vectors." Collins said. The unclonable bits include the long, monotonous repeats in the centromeres, plus islands of material scattered across the euchromatin on the 46 human chromosomes. "People feared those might involve a significant proportion of the euchromatin. But we banged away and have basically gotten down to the ones that are just absolutely recalcitrant." NHGRI would still like to rescue those bits if somebody can come up with the right technology. "We've been funding efforts to do that for several years. So far they have not yielded up a method that works," Collins said.

You will get more from this topic if you have mastered the basics of DNA and genes Printer-friendly version of complete topic The idea of the Human Genome Project first began in a vague way in the 1970s when biologists started to investigate human genes at the molecular level. As biochemical analysis of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) became possible, it became clear that certain segments of DNA (called markers) were associated with particular conditions. Various countries started to map parts of the human genome in the 1980s but the international project really got under way when the USA became involved. In 1989, the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) was founded by leading scientists in the field to coordinate the massive international effort now involved in unravelling the secrets of our genes. The project aims to map the position of every human gene and to read and decipher every message encoded in the the twisted double helix of our DNA ( Box 1 ). It is a stupendous and very costly undertaking, involving advanced biotechnology, and will take many years to complete. A first draft of the human genome was announced in June 2000.
