1997-98 Genome Lecture Series Begins
The National Human Genome Research Institute's 1997-1998 Human Genome Lecture Series will begin Thursday, Nov. 20. The eight speakers will focus on large-scale DNA sequencing and genomic approaches to the study of protein identification, human variation and complex traits. All lectures take place on Thursdays, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Lipsett Amphitheater, Bldg. 10, except for the Thursday, Dec. 11 lecture, which will be held from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in Lister Hill Auditorium, Bldg. 38A.
