Scientists, enabled by the Human Genome Project, are churning out an unprecedented volume of data on human chromosomes and the genes residing on them, including many associated with genetic disorders. These data, and many Web sites on human genetic disorders, are freely accessible on the Internet.

Gene Gateway was designed as a Web companion to the popular Human Genome Landmarks poster. Originally, it was a collection of guides and tutorials designed to help students and other novice users get started with some of the online databases and resources that make HGP.
