• The Human Genome Project and Beyond

  A very good introduction to genes and the genome project. Genomics and Its Impact on Science and Society. The Human Genome Project and Beyond - a publication of the U.S. Department of Energy Human Genome Program. This is the result of a study of human DNA - called the Human Genome Project. The goal was nothing less than producing a high-quality reference DNA sequence for the human genome‘s 3 billion base pairs and to identify all human genes.

  This report, from 2003, is a good primer on the whole subject of genes and genetics. It also examines the possible impact on society of future research.

Computers

This is also a description. It would be easy to extend the range of text markups that rest2web supported. If there was any demand we could allow html in the descriptions, and even extend the range of supported markups to include sextile and textile. This would make the name rest2web [1] less appropriate of course.

• The Hacker Crackdown

  A literary freeware book by Bruce Sterling.

Internet
