Since the beginning of time, people have yearned to explore the unknown, chart where they have been, and contemplate what they have found. The maps we make of these treks enable the next explorers to push ever farther the boundaries of our knowledge - about the earth, the sea, the sky, and indeed, ourselves. On a new quest to chart the innermost reaches of the human cell, scientists have now set out on biology's most important mapping expedition: the Human Genome Project. Its mission is to identify the full set of genetic instructions contained inside our cells and to read the complete text written in the language of the hereditary chemical DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). As part of this international project, biologists, chemists, engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, and other scientists will work together to plot out several types of biological maps that will enable researchers to find their way through the labyrinth of molecules that define the physical traits of a human being.

Ethical Issues Of The Human Genome Project
Ethical Issues of the Human Genome Project. Mapping funding. Original proposalsfor 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.

Extractions: of Science Sponsored by In what has been called the Everest of modern biology, scientists from around the world are collaborating in an ambitious attempt to unravel and record the entire set of human genetic instructions. 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.

Stanford - Morrison Institute - HGDP Frequently Asked Questions
This a list of frequently asked questions of the Human Genome DiversityProject. Is this Project part of the Human Genome Project? No.
http://www.stanford.edu/group/morrinst/hgdp/faq.html

Extractions: Home About the Institute Colloquia Financial Assistance (Stanford) Human Genome Diversity Project Related Organizations Frequently Asked Questions Prepared by the Project's North American Committee The Human Genome Diversity Project (the "HGD Project") is an international project that seeks to understand the diversity and unity of the entire human species. The HGD Project is still largely in its planning stages, seeking the best ways to reach its goals. We hope this document will provide important background information to help people gain a better understanding of this evolving initiative. It was written by the North American Committee of the HGD Project in late 1993 and early 1994 to respond to questions committee members were frequently asked. It represents the views of that Committee at that time. What is the Human Genome Diversity Project? Why is the HGD Project important? Is this Project part of the Human Genome Project? How is the HGD Project organized? ... How can I get more information about the Human Genome Diversity Project? The HGD Project is an effort by anthropologists, geneticists, doctors, linguists, and other scholars from around the world to document the genetic variation of the human species worldwide. This scientific endeavor is designed to collect information on human genome variation to help us understand the genetic makeup of all of humanity and not just some of its parts. The information will also be used to learn about human biological history, the biological relationships among different human groups, and may be useful in understanding the causes of and determining the treatment of particular human diseases.

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.
http://ehrweb.aaas.org/ehr/books/

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.
Wired News: Will Gene-Control Report Curb Power, Or Spur Clash?
The Human Genome Project's socialissues group is demanding greater autonomy and more funds. A milestone report comes out next month. Wired News
http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,962,00.html

Extractions: 08:00 PM Dec. 12, 1996 PT A milestone will be reached next month in the battle between the geneticists who control the Human Genome Project and the health, social science, and legal professionals who compose its Ethical, Legal, and Social Issues (ELSI) Working Group. An outside group headed by Drs. Mark Rothstein of Houston University and Anne Spence of the University of California will issue a report on the group's demand for more money, greater autonomy, its own budget, and the right to report to Congress or the White House rather than to the scientists. If the group supports ELSI demands and the project's advisory council acquiesces, it could significantly reduce the geneticists' and biotech industry's power to determine the pace, funding, and use of genetic research. The fight, recalling C. P. Snow's classic description of the "two culture" clash between scientists and humanists, is precipitated by the geneticists' epic success in identifying the human genome. Ethicists say the explosion in our ability to diagnose illness for which there is no known therapy could create enormous new problems - for employment, insurance, privacy, family relations, and personal psychology - unless the scientists are reined in. The geneticists fear that such social concerns will retard scientific progress and its promise for preventing disease and helping people live longer.
