National Human Genome Research Institute
As a leading authority in the field of genomics, our mission is to accelerate scientific and medical breakthroughs that improve human health. We do this by driving cutting-edge research, developing new technologies, and studying the impact of genomics on society.
OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man)
Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM®) is a continuously updated catalog of human genes and genetic disorders and traits, with particular focus on the molecular relationship between genetic variation and phenotypic expression. It is thus considered to be a phenotypic companion to the Human Genome Project. OMIM is a continuation of Dr. Victor A. McKusick's Mendelian Inheritance in Man, which was published through 12 editions, the last in 1998. OMIM is currently biocurated at the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine, The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
NCBI Gene
Gene integrates information from a wide range of species. A record may include nomenclature, Reference Sequences (RefSeqs), maps, pathways, variations, phenotypes, and links to genome-, phenotype-, and locus-specific resources worldwide.
Becoming Human
"The Institute of Human Origins (IHO) conducts, interprets and publicizes scientific research on the human career. IHO's unique approach brings together scientists from diverse disciplines to develop integrated, bio-behavioral investigations of human evolution."
Paleopathology Association - Paleopathology Links
"The goal of the following list is to use the potential of the Internet in order to share knowledge about new and ongoing projects, journals and institutions active in the area of Paleopathology and related sciences worldwide."
Center for the Study of Human Origins, New York University
"The Center for the Study of Human Origins (CSHO) in the Department of Anthropology at New York University was inaugurated in 2002. Its mission is to enhance and facilitate research on all fields of biological anthropology and archaeology that are broadly related to the study of human origins and evolution from a biological and cultural perspective."
The Institute of Human Origins
"The Institute of Human Origins, a non-profit, multidisciplinary research organization affiliated with Arizona State University, is dedicated to the recovery and analysis of the fossil evidence for human evolution.
John Hawks Weblog: Paleoanthropology, Genetics and Evolution
"John Hawks is the Vilas-Borghesi Distinguished Achievement Professor of Anthropology at the University of Wisconsin—Madison. I work on the fossil and genetic record of human evolution."
Human Origins: What Does it Mean to Be Human?
"The Human Origins Program at the Smithsonian isdedicated to understanding the biological and cultural foundations of human life. The Human Origins Program strives to develop public awareness about human origins and evolutionary history. The dissemination of new research and new ideas in the field of paleoanthropology is central to our mission."
