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.
