Exploring the project

The Introduction offers a good guide to the full scope and evolution of the project; and there is also an invaluable ‘Primer’ at the start of Sequence One which introduces the Human Genome and explains some basic scientific terms. Divided into four ‘Sequences’, there is a natural ‘genomic’ feel to the work, with extracts related to the various aspects of the Human Genome interwoven with poems and poetic reflections. The Contents section allows navigation throughout the ‘genome’ of the whole project, or the navigation bar on the left hand side can also be used. To reflect its interwoven genomic nature, the project is intended as a ‘living’ work and the author invites suggestions for further additions, ideas or extracts.
