Large Genetics Projects
Human Genome Project
Official site of the Human Genome Research Institute of the NIH (National Institutes of health). These
are the people that led the HGP (Human Genome Project). Includes genetics fact sheets, talking glossary, genetics and the law, and ethics. Lots of educational resources on genomics, including animations.
International HapMap Project
A multi-country effort to find and catlog genetic differences and similarities among people.
Human Epigenome Project
A public/private consortium of scientists engaged in identifying human genome-wide methylation
patterns. These methylation patterns are through to play a major role in human disease; patterns are
heritable and may affect the phenotype, yet do not involve changes in DNA sequence.
International Cancer Genome Consortium
The ICGC Goal is to obtain a comprehensive description of genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic changes in 50 different tumor types and/or subtypes which are of clinical and societal importance across the globe.
Human Protein Atlas Project
The Human Protein Atlas Project is a human proteomics project that seeks to collect protein expression images of normal and cancer cells. Specific proteins are visualized under a microscope with an antibody stain. So far, 12238 genes with protein expression profiles based on 15598 antibodies have been included. The database is searchable by gene symbol or protein name.
The Genographic Project
Explores the migratory patterns of humans based on DNA data. Check out the rotatable and interactive globe of human history!
