Scope and Contents From the Series:

This series contains materials related to the International HapMap Project, including meeting files, press materials, correspondence, draft papers, and notes. The HapMap began after the completion of the Human Genome Project and ran from 2003 to 2006. It was a global effort aimed at relateing variations in the human DNA sequences with genes associated with health.

Scope and Contents Francis Collins correspondence with Gualberto Ruano, the CEO of Genaissance Pharmaceuticals. Francis attached a press release regarding Genaissance's publication in Science concerning gene haplotype analysis. Gualberto reached out to Francis Collins to address his thoughts and scientific concerns about the Genome-Wide Haplotype Map, including the purported "block" organization of LD. He believed the hypothesis appared to conflict with the facts and published results. Francis hoped to discuss...

Scope and Contents Multiple drafts of the agenda for Planning the First Large-Scale Phase of the Haplotype Map Project on January 16, 2002. The purpose of the meeting was to prepare for the large-scale studies in the first three populations, by considering the populations to include, the scientific strategy, the project organization, and the timetable and costs of the project. Documents also include a draft for discussion on the International collaboration in the HapMap project, and a question-answer sheet on...

Scope and Contents Documents on the collaboration between the National Human Genome Center at Howard University (NHGC) and the HapMap Project. This includes a letter from the founding director Georgia Dunston to Francis Collins accepting the collaboration as long as it filled the required guidelines such as funding the first phase of GRAD simultaneous with the Human HapMap Project. There is an e-mail from Georgia originally rejecting the collaborating with NHGRI because they needed to focus all of their...
