First launched this past March, NHGRI's new Catalog of Genome-Wide Association Studies is now even better, listing not only all of the latest published studies by specific disease or trait, but the detailed association data and p-values for the most promising single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to those diseases. Genome-wide association studies are an important advance in discovering the genetic variants that influence disease.
Our National DNA Day Online Chatroom is closed, but you can still learn about genetics and genomics research, genetic diseases, careers in genetics and more by reading our Online Chatroom Transcript. Our newly designed DNA Day Web pages also include a video from NHGRI Director Dr. Francis Collins, teaching tools, webcasts by institute scientists and much more.
Prepared for National DNA Day 2007, Genes in Motion was a unique program developed by researchers and educators from the National Institutes of Health and dancers and choreographers from the Liz Lerman Dance Exchange. On April 30, 2007, students and teachers from Maryland, Virginia and Washington D.C. gathered for a day of exploring genetics through dance, creating novel dance routines to explain and understand concepts in genetics, such as mitosis and mutation.

The National Human Genome Research Institute led the Human Genome Project for the National Institutes of Health, which culminated in the completion of the full human genome sequence in April 2003. Now, NHGRI moves forward into the genomic era with research aimed at improving human health and fighting disease.
