FEATURED BOOK
|
A. H. Sturtevant. A History of Genetics.
In 1965, A. H. Sturtevant, the creator of the world's
first genetic map,
published this history of genetics. It is now back in print AND available
on-line in full-text format.
The book was produced as a joint product of the
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press
and the Electronic Scholarly Publishing project.

Genetics in Context - A Comparative Timeline.
Genetics in Context offers a dual timeline, with
scientific events (especially those relevant to classical
genetics) presented against those of general historical and
cultural interest. Did you know that Darwin published Origin of
Species the year before Lincoln was elected President,
while Mendel published his findings the year after Lincoln
was assassinated? Check out these and other events in
Genetics in Context.

ESP Project Description
The ESP site is dedicated to the electronic
publishing of scientific and other scholarly materials. Of particular
interest are the history of science, genetics, computational biology, and
genome research.
The site will undergo major changes throughout 1998, as significant
efforts to enlarge the Classical Genetics section will be underway.
Funding for the expansion of the Classical Genetics section has been provided by
the US Department of Energy as part of its commitment to supporting
educational activities related to its
Human Genome Project.
For a description of the ESP Classical Genetics project and a
commentary on how it relates to public awareness and
understanding of the Human Genome Project,
read the NARRATIVE from the original
ESP grant proposal to the DOE.
If you wonder what the Department of Energy has to do with genome research, read
To Know Ourselves, a history of the origins
of the Human Genome Project.
Comments and suggestions for future development are always welcome:
