A 60-year tale of spots, maps, and genes.
This is an account of almost 60 years' experience in the clinical delineation of genetic disorders, mapping genes on chromosomes, and cataloging human disease-related genes and genetic disorders. The origins of medical genetics as a clinical specialty, of the Human Genome Project, of genomics (including the term), and of HUGO are recounted.
