Description:	NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series The Human Genome Project (HGP), like no other arena of modern biomedical science, focuses attention on the biomedical significance of DNA polymorphisms and on variation as a fundamental and unifying characteristic of biology and human identity. The sequencing of the human genome exposes a deeper level of knowledge about and for humankind on the structure and function of variation. Georgia Dunston, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, Department of Microbiology, College of Medicine and Acting Director, National Human Genome Center at Howard University.
