Scope Note

While this section of our Web site provides a general overview of the topic of genetic diversity, its primary and supplemental resources focus on non-human aspects of genetic biodiversity. The scope of the National Biological Information Infrastructure is on non-human biological and natural resources. If you are interested specifically in information on human genetics or the Human Genome Project, you should refer to the National Institute of Health's National Human Genome Research Institute Web site, which provides comprehensive information on research, grants, educational resources, careers, and the latest news on human genomics issues.
