Visible
Human Viewer
The Visible Human Project® is an outgrowth of the NLM's 1986
Long-Range Plan. It is the creation of complete, anatomically
detailed, three-dimensional representations of the normal male
and female human bodies. Acquisition of transverse CT, MR and
cryosection images of representative male and female cadavers
has been completed. The male was sectioned at one millimeter
intervals, the female at one-third of a millimeter intervals.

Biology
(Galaxy)
Galaxy is a searchable Internet directory. It provides information
by integrating technology and human expertise. This approach
allows for focus on depth of coverage within defined subjects
as well as the exclusion of Internet sites that are offensive,
incomplete or poorly maintained.
Biology
(Yahoo)
A directory of biology sites with links to libraries and journals.
BioSciences (Harvard)
The Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the main
campus of Harvard University in Cambridge, MA is a community
of about 30 faculty, 80 graduate students and 180 postdoctoral
fellows actively engaged in innovative research, discovery and
training in modern biology, supported by about 220 staff members.
Biosites
Biosites is a current listing of important Internet resources
in the biomedical sciences. The sites evaluated here have been
selected as part of a collaborative project by staff in the
Resource Libraries within the Pacific Southwest Region of the
National Network of Libraries of Medicine.
Genetics
Ensembl (EMBL-EBI
& Sanger Centre)
Ensembl provides complete and consistent annotation across the
human genome. It will soon also process mouse, (in conjunction
with other projects, hopefully people like the Jackson Lab).
To understand how Ensembl fits into the human genome project,
please read EnsemblHGP. You might also want to read about the
ScienceDocumentation of Ensembl's computational methods.
GenBank
Established in 1988 as a national resource for molecular biology
information, NCBI creates public databases, conducts research
in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing
genome data, and disseminates biomedical information - all for
the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human
health and disease.
GeneClinics
A clinical information resource relating genetic testing to
the diagnosis, management, and genetic counseling of individuals
and families with specific inherited disorders
Gene Map of
the Human Genome
The human genome is thought to harbor 50,000 to 100,000 genes,
of which about half have been sampled to date in the form of
expressed sequence tags. An international consortium was organized
to develop and map gene-based sequence tagged site markers on
a set of two radiation hybrid panels and a yeast artificial
chromosome library. More than 16,000 human genes have been mapped
relative to a framework map that contains about 1000 polymorphic
genetic markers. The gene map unifies the existing genetic and
physical maps with the nucleotide and protein sequence databases
in a fashion that should speed the discovery of genes underlying
inherited human disease
Genetics
Resource Center
The Genetics Education and Counseling Program, a joint effort
of the University of Pittsburgh and UPMC Health System, is dedicated
to providing up-to-date information about inherited conditions
and related services for individuals, families, and whole communities.
Genome Database
At present, GDB comprises descriptions of the following types
of objects: Regions of the human genome, including genes, clones,
amplimers (PCR markers), breakpoints, cytogenetic markers, fragile
sites, ESTs, syndromic regions, contigs and repeats; maps of
the human genome, including cytogenetic maps, linkage maps,
radiation hybrid maps, content contig maps, and integrated maps;
these maps can be displayed graphically via the Web; variations
within the human genome including mutations and polymorphisms,
plus allele frequency data.
Human Genome Project Working
Draft (UCSC)
This page contains links to an assembly of the current
draft of the human genome. The human genome is approximately
3.1 billion bases. Roughly 88% of the genome has been sequenced
by the International Human Genome Project. The Oct. 7th draft
genome is composed of hundreds of thousands of fragments of
various sizes. The order and orientation of the fragments is
often not known from the sequencing process itself. In some
cases the same part of the genome will be duplicated in several
fragments
Human
Genome Resources (NLM)
A list of resources, news, and events are provided by the National
Library of Medicine's MEDLINE.
Online Mendelian
Inheritance in Man
This database is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders
authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues
at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere, and developed for the World
Wide Web by NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information.
The database contains textual information, pictures, and reference
information. It also contains copious links to NCBI's Entrez
database of MEDLINE articles and sequence information.

Johns Hopkins
BioInformatics Web Server
This interdisciplinary academic division brings together a wide
range of resources and expertise in biomedical information management,
communication and technology. Through the educational, research
and service activities of its components, the Division seeks
to advance the development and use of electronic and other information
resources for decision-making, research, health care delivery
and individual academic growth and to increase the awareness
of these resources among the Johns Hopkins medical community.
