Public Working Draft Version of Human Sequence Available

In a letter published in the September 1, 2000 issue of Science and in a news brief published in the August 31, 2000 issue of Nature, the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium described a number of electronic sites where the public working draft version of the human genome sequence can be found in its most useable forms.

The links below are to three different (but complementary), assembled views of the human genome, together with useful browsing tools that provide a wide variety of annotations of the sequence. These sites are updated frequently.
