HUMAN GENOME MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM Providing behind-the-scenes assistance for much of the DNA mapping and sequencing research at ORNL and elsewhere is the Human Genome Management Information System (HGMIS) of the Health and Safety Research Division. Sponsored by both DOE and the National Institutes of Health, HGMIS helps communicate genome-related issues and research to contractors, grantees, and the public, and it provides a forum for information exchange among researchers in both the DOE Human Genome Program and the international Human Genome Project. In the course of this work, HGMIS produces workshop reports; a bimonthly newsletter, Human Genome News; and a traveling exhibit; and it provides administrative support to genome-related projects. A textual data base of information on the human genome is also being developed. HGMIS invites comments and suggestions from the research community and the public about its documents and services, which are available upon request and without charge. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Please send inquiries or comments about this gopher to the mail address: gopher@gopher.ornl.gov Date Posted: 1/10/94 (ktb)
