3357	National Human Genome Research Institute	Html	null	Chromosomes Fact Sheet	Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells.			CLICK HERE
3358	National Human Genome Research Institute	Html	null	Cloning Fact Sheet	Cloning describes a number of different processes that can be used to produce genetically identical copies of a biological entity. The copied material, which has the same genetic makeup as the original, is referred to as a clone.			CLICK HERE
3359	National Human Genome Research Institute	Html	null	Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) Fact Sheet	Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule which contains the biological instructions that make each species unique. DNA, along with the instructions it contains, is passed from adult organisms to their offspring during reproduction.			CLICK HERE
3360	National Human Genome Research Institute	Html	null	FAQ About Genetic Testing	Genetic testing uses laboratory methods to look at your genes, which are the DNA instructions you inherit from your mother and your father. Genetic tests may be used to identify increased risks of health problems, to choose treatments, or to assess responses to treatments.			CLICK HERE
3362	National Human Genome Research Institute	Html	null	Knockout Mice Fact Sheet	A knockout mouse is a laboratory mouse in which researchers have inactivated, or "knocked out," an existing gene by replacing it or disrupting it with an artificial piece of DNA.			CLICK HERE
3364	National Human Genome Research Institute	Html	null	FAQ About Newborn Screening	Newborn screening tests use a dried blood sample collected during the first week after birth to measure the presence of disease biomarkers (a measurable substance or characteristic that is indicative of a disease).

3365	National Human Genome Research Institute	Html	null	Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)	Sometimes called "molecular photocopying," the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a fast and inexpensive technique used to "amplify" - copy - small segments of DNA. Because significant amounts of a sample of DNA are necessary for molecular and genetic analyses, studies of isolated pieces of DNA are nearly impossible without PCR amplification.			CLICK HERE
3368	National Human Genome Research Institute	Html	null	From the Blueprint to You	Created in April 2003 for 50 years of DNA: A Celebration of the Genome, From the Blueprint to You explores the world of genetics, DNA, the Human Genome Project, the ethical, legal and social implications of genetic research and the future of genomics.

3369	National Human Genome Research Institute	Html	null	About the Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases Program	"The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Therapeutics for Rare and Neglected Diseases (TRND) program is part of a congressionally funded effort to encourage and speed the development of new drugs for rare and neglected diseases. The federal budget for fiscal 2009 dedicated $24 million to establish this initiative.			CLICK HERE
3371	National Human Genome Research Institute	Html	null	Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008	Genetic discrimination occurs if people are treated unfairly because of differences in their DNA that increase their chances of getting a certain disease. For example, a health insurer might refuse to give coverage to a woman who has a DNA difference that raises her odds of getting breast cancer. Employers also could use DNA information to decide whether to hire or fire workers.			CLICK HERE
