RESOURCES FOR HUMAN-GENETICS ON THE WORLD-WIDE-WEB

A little over a century ago, the HMS Beagle sailed the Pacific Ocean b ringing Charles Darwin to the perfect environment in which to piece to gether his observations forming the theory of evolution. Now, genetici sts and laypeople alike surf the equally formidable waters of the Inte rnet in search of enlightenment. Here, we attempt to help you navigate towards resources for human genetics by providing maps to three desti nations. The Human Genome Project (Box 1), education (Box 2), and huma n genetic diseases (Box 3). For each, we highlight a few sites that we consider are the most informative and original. A more extensive list containing other useful sites has been compiled and posted on a 'jump site' at:http://www.cgdn.generes.ca/.
