In the fall of 2003, NHGRI began a redesign of its Web site, genome.gov, gathering user feedback with an on-site evaluation and institute-wide interviews. The result, launched June 18th, 2004, includes a wealth of new features designed to make your experience on genome.gov more rewarding than ever before.
