Questions following the Lecture "Translating Genetic Advances into Improved Health Outcomes" by Wylie Burke, M.D., Ph.D.

8th Millenium Evening at the While House covered by CSPAN.  How advances in computer technology are helping scientists unlock the secrets of the human genome; Dr Vinton Cerf gives overview of the internet and where its going

Rick Wilson introduces Francis Collins.  Collins speaks broadly about the Human Genome Project, accomplishments, what's next and the ethical, legal and social issues that might arise

Francis Collins introduces speakers; David Kulp speaks about gene predictions; Alex Bateman speaks about proteome predictions; Kulp talks about gene hunting; project with Human Genome consortium to annotate the genome; draft mouse genome; Bateman speaks about whats in genome from protein-centric view, comparative proteome analysis

Francis Collins introduces the speakers; Deanna Church speaks about informatics analyses comparing human and mouse genetics; why use mouse genome, why compare mouse and human genomes; Jean Weissenbach speaks about comparative genomics, puffer fish compared to human

Learning the secrets of the genetic code - interview with Craig Benter and Francis Collins about the human genome, possible predispositions to diseases, footage of President Clinton speaking about the genome at the White House, footage from labs, what has been done in past two years, including genes for many diseases, possibilities of gene therapy, William Hazelteen speaks about developing drugs to treat genetic diseases, potential for stem cells

This collection contains a large variety of media materials, including news reports, interviews with staff, press conferences, lab footage, symposia, meetings, and others. Formats include VHS, audio cassette, BetaCam, DVD, CD, and others. The majority of the materials were created during the years of the Human Genome Project (1990-2003) but also include more recent materials.

Howard University Evening Exchange program includes news report on the discovery of DNA 50 years ago and the completion of the Human Genome Project and John Carpten talks about looking for disease genes; panel discussion about the significance of the Human Genome Project completion for finding diseases; progress made in medicine since completion; genetic testing for diseases;
