Howard Hughes Medical Institute and its role in genomic activities

Through its three operating programs, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute has supported a substantial amount of basic and clinical molecular research, has acted as a facilitator in initiating and funding a number of meetings, nationally and internationally, including work groups dealing with databases, and has supported several databases for gene mapping.
