Genes, Environment, and Human Behavior is the fourth in the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study (BSCS) series of modules funded by DOE and related to the Human Genome Project. The print curriculum includes teacher information and classroom activities on genetic, developmental, and environmental interactions and how this knowledge might impact public policy. Other modules still available are The Human Genome Project: Biology, Computers, and Privacy and The Puzzle of Inheritance: Genetics and the Methods of Science. Free; small charge for shipping and handling. [BSCS contact: Rose Johnson, 719/531-5550]
The electronic form of the newsletter may be cited in the following style:
The Human Genome Project (HGP) was an international 13-year effort, 1990 to 2003. Primary goals were to discover the complete set of human genes and make them accessible for further biological study, and determine the complete sequence of DNA bases in the human genome. See Timeline for more HGP history.
Published from 1989 until 2002, this newsletter facilitated HGP communication, helped prevent duplication of research effort, and informed persons interested in genome research.
