"Talking"
Glossary Explains DNA, Gene Therapy
 Do
you know that DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid? OK, do you
know how to pronounce it? If you need a vocabulary to keep up
with recent advances in genetics, visit the National Human Genome
Research Institute's new online glossary. Featuring nearly 200
terms, the glossary is easy to read and easy to use. It offers
handy pronunciation guides, brief text definitions, and dozens
of richly illustrated diagrams of selected terms. The glossary
also "talks." It features in-depth audio clips -- spoken explanations
-- provided by more than two-dozen researchers in the fields
of genetics, molecular biology, and medicine.
