Sharing the Vision for the National Human Genome Center at Howard University
...As we map the human genome, unfold the particularities of life itself, and begin to understand the very mechanisms that produce life, i want the investigations of our scientists and students to be informed by values,by the ancient truths, by a sense not of the simple randomness of life but of its order"...as revealed in the human genome sequence.
--- H. PATRICK SWYGERT, President of Howard University
