3. The Human Transcript Map
- www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
- A Gene Map of the Human Genome.
- The Human Genome Project is expected to produce a sequence of DNA representing the functional blueprint and evolutionary history of the human species. ... Approximately half of all human genes had been sampled as of 15 June, 1996. ...
- To construct a transcript map, cDNA sequences from a master catalog of human genes were distributed to mapping laboratories in North America, Europe, and Japan. These cDNAs were converted to STSs and their physical locations on chromosomes determined on one of two radiation hybrid (RH) panels or a yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) library containing human genomic DNA. This mapping data was integrated relative to the human genetic map and then cross-referenced to cytogenetic band maps of the chromosomes. ...
- Because the individual genes (>16,000) are too numerous to represent, images have been chosen to illustrate the myriad aspects of human biology, pathology, and relationships with other organisms that can be revealed by analysis of genes and their protein products. ...
4. Human Genome Research
- www.science.doe.gov
- Human Genome Research.
- Human Genome Project (HGP), composed of the DOE and NIH Human Genome Programs, is the national coordinated effort to characterize all human genetic material by determining the complete sequence of the DNA in the human genome. The HGP's ultimate goal has been to discover all the more than 30,000 human genes and render them accessible for further biological study. To facilitate the future interpretation of human gene function, parallel studies have been carried out on selected model organisms. ...
- In the course of completing the sequence, an interim "working draft" of the human sequence was produced and published in Nature (15 February, 2001) simultaneously with a companion publication of the human sequence generated by Celera Genomics Corporation (Science, 16 February, 2001). Other goals have involved further improving sequencing technologies; studying human genome sequence variation, both at the level of single nucleotides (single nucleotide polymorphisms, or SNPs) and entire chromosomal segments, referred to as haplotypes; sequencing the mouse, rat, frog, pufferfish, and sea squirt genomes; and sequencing of additional microbial genomes. ... The DOE Human Genome Program also has developed high-throughput approaches to identify cis-regulatory sequences in the human and other genomes, based on shared nonprotein-coding sequences in the genomes of such evolutionarily diverse organisms as the sea squirt (Ciona intestinalis), the pufferfish (Fugu rupribes), and the frog (Xenopus tropicalis). Additional longstanding elements of the DOE Human Genome Program have included studies of the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genome research; bioinformatics and computational biology; training genome scientists; and encouraging cross-disciplinary interest in genome research by scientists in disciplines such as physics, engineering, and computation. ...
- The DOE Human Genome Program has supported research projects at universities, the DOE Joint Genome Institute, DOE-owned national laboratories, and other research organizations. As part of the international Human Genome Project, vital and very active genome research also has been pursued by researchers and science-funding agencies outside the United States. ...

- KHRP’s strategic use of international human rights mechanisms as a means to tackle human rights abuses in the Kurdish regions forms a central part of KHRP’s work. Of particular importance is the caseload of applications to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and submissions to UN mechanisms on behalf of Kurdish and non-Kurdish applicants, brought by KHRP with the assistance of its partners on the ground.
- Fact-finding and trial observation missions play an essential part in KHRP’s programme to monitor human rights abuses in the Kurdish regions and to help to press for the rule of law and a wider democratic platform for discussion there. These missions also help KHRP in maintaining vital grassroots links with victims of human rights abuses and the people who defend them and, in turn, offer support for those involved in the fight for human rights on the ground in the Kurdish regions.
- Based on objective and thorough research – an essential component to the monitoring of human rights – KHRP publications provide a concrete factual basis for KHRP to influence the international community in applying pressure on states within the Kurdish regions to reform policy and legislation which contravenes research is especially crucial in the Kurdish regions where sound information is frequently hard to secure.
- The need for independent and objective information about the Kurdish regions and the Kurds is all the greater due to the widespread censorship and intimidation of human rights defenders and the media within the regions. KHRP employs a wide range of tools in sharing information, building capacity and raising public awareness of human rights abuses and consequently in adding pressure on governments to reform.
- KHRP undertakes the majority of its work in promoting and protecting human rights in the Kurdish regions through its closely-integrated main projects. ... Nevertheless, where there is a particularly grave or imminent threat to the protection of human rights, KHRP implements additional ‘special projects’ to enable it to provide dedicated resources to that threat. ...
