With the field of genetic medicine changing so rapidly, new research findings and new thinking about the biological, clinical, social, ethical and legal implications of those findings result in more material than even the most comprehensive websites can address. There are, however, many excellent resources available online, which taken together offer an impressive, current and comprehensive view of the field.

Listed below are several pre-formed internet search queries that should yield a high percentage of relevant results. Following each you will find a link to run the search via PubMed (at the NIH) and/or Google™. PubMed will tend to provide a more academic or scholarly perspective, while Google will deliver a broader spectrum of results. In either case, clicking on any of the search queries will return a page of results that includes brief descriptions and links to corresponding external websites or documents.

You can also conduct your own free-form PubMed or Google queries via the respective search boxes located lower down on this page.
