The Triple Helix The OpenScience Project | Open source scientific software Solve Puzzles for Science | Foldit Human Genome Project The Human Genome Project (HGP) is an international scientific research project with the goal of determining the sequence of chemical base pairs which make up human DNA, and of identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome from both a physical and functional standpoint.[1] It remains the world's largest collaborative biological project.[2] The first official funding for the Project originated with the US Department of Energy’s Office of Health and Environmental Research, headed by Charles DeLisi, and was in the Reagan Administration’s 1987 budget submission to Congress.[3] It subsequently passed both Houses. The Project was planned for 15 years.[4] In 1990, the two major funding agencies, DOE and NIH, developed a memorandum of understanding in order to coordinate plans and set the clock for the initiation of the Project to 1990.[5] At that time, David Galas was Director of the renamed “Office of Biological and Environmental Research” in the U.S. Project[edit] History[edit]
An Overview of the Human Genome Project An Overview of the Human Genome Project What was the Human Genome Project? The Human Genome Project (HGP) was the international, collaborative research program whose goal was the complete mapping and understanding of all the genes of human beings. All our genes together are known as our "genome." The HGP was the natural culmination of the history of genetics research. In 1911, Alfred Sturtevant, then an undergraduate researcher in the laboratory of Thomas Hunt Morgan, realized that he could - and had to, in order to manage his data - map the locations of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) genes whose mutations the Morgan laboratory was tracking over generations. The hereditary material of all multi-cellular organisms is the famous double helix of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contains all of our genes. The HGP has revealed that there are probably about 20,500 human genes. Of course, information is only as good as the ability to use it. Top of page Last Reviewed: November 8, 2012

Silicon Valley skyder millioner i projektet Andrew Ng er professor i computerindlæring ved det hæderkronede Stanford University syd for San Francisco og har sammen med sin kollega, professor Daphne Koller, udviklet systemet, som har fået navnet Coursera. Onsdag i denne uge kunne de to professorer offentliggøre, at investorer fra it-nervecenteret Silicon Valley har skudt 91 millioner kroner i deres projekt. Til forskel fra tidligere tiders fjernundervisning er der ikke blot tale om transmitterede forelæsninger. 100.000 studerende til samme forelæsning »Man får en rigtig læringsoplevelse. Det er mildt sagt sandt.
