Watch live on Monday, May 20, when NHGRI convenes the 68th meeting of the National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research. Among the topics to be discussed: an update of the genome sequencing program, training and career development, and interpreting variants in non-coding regions of the genome. Read the agenda
Researchers fine-tune genomic links to high blood lipid levels
An international team of researchers has uncovered new evidence of potential genetic influences on blood lipid levels in three ethnic groups: African Americans, East Asians and Europeans. The results may lead to new insights into how genes affect the development of unhealthy levels of cholesterol, help explain differences in risks for heart disease and lead to new potential treatment strategies.

Students explore the natural world during DNA Day activities
Students visited the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) to learn directly from scientists about DNA and how it relates to the natural world. Three hundred middle and high school students spent April 19, 2013, celebrating National DNA Day at the museum, an activity sponsored by NHGRI's Education and Community Involvement Branch. Find out what they discovered. Read more
NHGRI symposium commemorates 10th anniversary of the Human Genome Project
On April 25, 2013, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) held the all-day symposium, The Genomics Landscape a Decade after the Human Genome Project, at the Ruth L. Kirschstein Auditorium, NIH. NHGRI Director Eric D. Green, M.D., Ph.D., chose the date to coincide with the journal Nature's publication of the discovery of DNA's double helical structure 60 years ago, and the 10-year anniversary of the completion of the Human Genome Project (HGP).
