Exploring the Human Genome Project 1
Exploring the Human Genome Project 2
The first site is the ultimate genome site, put together by the US Department of Energy. Particularly useful for those teaching the Human Genome Project or preparing class projects is the second site, from the University of Kansas Medical Center. It provides a wealth of links to Web resources and curricular material concerning the Human Genome Project.

Human Genome
A working copy of the human genome that provides links to view the genome in several different ways.
Functional Genomics
A well-rounded site that includes the newest updates on the genome, links to background information, and analyses of the impact of the genome on modern science.

Nature Genomics
Nature devoted this special online section to the genome, including not only the data, but the research and the analysis of the genome. Also, the site includes a copy of Watson and Crick's original paper from 1953 describing the structure of DNA, which was originally published in Nature.

What is Genomics
A great essay that summarizes what the terms genomics, functional genomics, comparative genomics, and bioinformatics have come to encompass.

The Genome and Your Life
A publication sponsored by the Department of Energy that explores the possible everyday impact of the human genome.
