* The site http://www.yourgenome.org/ has information on DNA, genes, genomes and FAQs about the Human Genome Project. It also has short interviews where leading scientists answer key questions on the Human Genome Project. These can be used in conjunction with the animation to stimulate discussion in class or to help answer questions that may arise. Read about Fred Sanger, Nobel Laureate who developed the process of dideoxynucleotide sequencing (Sanger sequencing) used in the Human Genome Project. See: http://www.yourgenome.org/people/fred_sanger.shtml Also read about Sir John Sulston, Nobel Laureate, founding director of The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. | * The site http://www.yourgenome.org/ has information on DNA, genes, genomes and FAQs about the Human Genome Project.
