Free Primer Covers DNA Basics

The new DOE primer on molecular genetics is accompanied by PowerPoint slides (www.ornl.gov/hgmis/publicat/primer2001/). Prepared by Denise Casey and Marissa Mills of HGMIS, Genomics and Its Impact on Medicine and Society: A 2001 Primer includes brief discussions about basic genomic science, Human Genome Project history and goals, the significance and meaning of the draft human genome sequence, next steps after HGP, medical and other anticipated benefits and societal concerns arising from the new genetics, and a dictionary of related terms. Individual or multiple print copies are available from HGMIS (865/574-0597, or complete this form. ). A longer version of the primer is planned.
