    page-description: 
        A very good introduction to genes and the genome project. Genomics and Its Impact on Science and Society. The Human Genome Project and Beyond - a publication of the U.S. Department of Energy Human Genome Program. This is the result of a study of human DNA - called the *Human Genome Project*. The goal was nothing less than producing a high-quality reference DNA sequence for the human genome‘s 3 billion base pairs and to identify **all** human genes. 
        
        This report, from 2003, is a good primer on the whole subject of genes and genetics. It also examines the possible impact on society of future research.
