Glossaries
The NGHRI Talking Glossary - This glossary of genetic terms was created by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). Audio information, images and additional links aim to help people without a scientific background to understand common terms used in genetics.
The Human Genome Program Glossary - A glossary of genetic terms from the U.S. Department of Energy Human Genome Program. Here, you may also find a list of helpful links to further glossaries and dictionaries. One of the special features of the Human Genome Project information website is the dictionary of genetic terms.
Other glossaries of genome/human genetics terms - This website prepared by the University of Kansas Medical Centre presents an overview of glossaries related to genomics and human genetics. The glossaries are maintained by various organisations. You will also find terms for specific conditions and special dictionaries on this website.
