Special Genome Issue of Your World/Our World

"Exploring the Human Genome" is an expanded 24-page issue of Your World/Our World: Biotechnology and You. The colorful magazine, developed by the Pennsylvania Biotechnology Association (PBA) for teaching biotechnology to students in grades 7 through 10, is also appropriate for lay audiences. Articles and learning activities explore the Human Genome Project; DNA structure and function; genes, proteins, and genetic disease; mapping; invention of PCR; informatics; Huntington's Disease; and ELSI implications of genome research. This special genome issue is made available in part by DOE, which provided a complimentary copy to every 7th- to 10th-grade U.S. science teacher (about 40,000). The issue is endorsed by James Watson, former director of the NIH National Center for Human Genome Research. Teacher's guide included; subscription packages and back issues available.
