Human Genome Project
Building on the successes of the Human Genome Project, the Department of Energy has initiated a new program to achieve "a fundamental, comprehensive, and systematic understanding of life."

National Human Genome Research Institute
April 2003 will also coincide with the essential completion of the human genome sequence and publication of NHGRI's new vision for genomics research.

In 2001 the departments of Genetics and Molecular Biotechnology merged to become Genome Sciences. Renowned genome scientist Dr. Bob Waterston became the Gates Chair of the new department earlier this year.

NCBI's Map Viewer allows you to view and search a complete genome, display chromosome maps, and zoom down to the sequence data for a region of interest, for a subset of organisms in Entrez Genomes.
