Format: Web Site
Institute: National Library of Medicine (NLM)

Answers to genetic questions, such as "How does DNA make me who I am?" or "What does genetics have to do with mad cow disease?" can be found on a new Web site, Genetics Home Reference. Created by NLM for the general public, the site also explains the Human Genome Project, genetic testing, gene therapy, and the genes behind such conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer, and cystic fibrosis.
