National Mathematics Awareness Month 2002
Want to know what is going on nationally? Visit the official webpage of National Mathematics Awareness Month 2002. There are some interesting essays that talk about the background and applications of the genome.

Departments in the University of Arizona
The Biology Project web site provides information about many aspects of biology, including genetics and the genome. The Biology Learning Center is especially a helpful resource for U of A students and area K-12 students who wants to know more the study of biology. There is a very simple introduction to human genetics and also some advanced information such as the .Internet Directory for Sequence Analysis[broken link, 2004/11/29].

Mapping Database
The Genome Database is an international collaboration in support of the Human Genome Project. It provides chromosome reports, Ideogram-based chromosome searching, Maps, Human Genome Project resources and Meetings, etc. Genomic Segment Query is another catalog that provides genomic segment information. OMIM Online Mendelian Inderitance in Man is a database of human genes and genetic disorders, which contains textual information, pictures, and reference information.

Genome Analysis
Jena Genome Project is based at Germany's Institute of Molecular Biotechnology. Their purpose is to further the knowledge of genomes, particularly the human genome, through large scale sequencing and genetic analysis. Mathematics of Genome Analysis provides a brief description of several ways in which mathematics and statistics are being used in genome analysis and sequencing. The related essay such as A statistical analysis of cancer genome variation, Discrete Mathematics as a Tool for Molecular Biology, etc. are also available on the Internet. If you want to know more about current topics in genome, you can visit Current Topics in Genome Analysis. Some of the older versions of the same page are 2000, 1999[broken link, 2004/12/03], etc.

DNA Identification
The page Forensic Mathematics contains information about DNA identification.
