First comes Dolly, the sheep, who is successfully cloned on July 5, 1996. Science does not stop there, but leads to work with greater implications and complex legal-ethical concerns: the mapping of the human genome. On June 26, 2000, the working draft of the genome sequence is announced in which a map-based approach is key.

The Human Genome Project is a research effort coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and National Institutes of Health. Its website includes extensive information on its goals, history, timeline, benefits, teaching aids, and more.

Our news display will highlight the project and focus on numerous issues connected to the work of mapping the human genome. 

The Everett Cafe features thematic news displays on a wide range of educational topics, in addition to daily postings of headlines from around the world.
