The National Human Genome Research Institute and the Department of Energy announce April 2003 events to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the discovery of the DNA double helix, the completion of the human genome sequence and the publication of the vision plan for NHGRI. -
National Human Genome Research Institute announces something important!
The National Human Genome Research Institute announces the selection of five centers to carry out a new generation of large-scale sequencing projects designed to maximize the promise of the Human Genome Project and dramatically expand our understanding of human health and disease. -
transgenic animals using sperm genetically modified and grown in a laboratory dish
The National Human Genome Research Institute and other scientists successfully create transgenic animals using sperm genetically modified and grown in a laboratory dish, an achievement with implications for wide ranging research, from developmental biology to gene therapy. The study [pnas.org] was published in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. -

The National Human Genome Research Institute announces that the International Sequencing Consortium has launched a free online resource, where scientists and the public can view the latest information on sequencing projects for animal, plant and eukaryotic genomes. -
National insitute of health
As part of the Human Genome Project, the National Institutes of Health hails the first comprehensive analysis of the sequence of the human X chromosome, saying that this provides sweeping new insights into the evolution of sex chromosomes and the biological differences between males and females -
cancer
The National Cancer Institute and the National Human Genome Research Institute announce another two of the components of The Cancer Genome Atlas Pilot Project, a three-year, $100 million collaboration to test the feasibility of using large-scale genome analysis technologies to identify important genetic changes involved in cancer. -
10 years.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of researchers producing the first complete human genome sequence, NHGRI collaborates with the the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) in Washington, D.C., to open a high-tech, high-intensity exhibition in 2013. The exhibition also commemorates the 60th anniversary of Drs. James D. Watson and Francis Crick's discovery of DNA's double helix in 1953 - a revolutionary discovery that laid the foundation for understanding how DNA encodes and copie
