"Genetic engineers don't make new genes, they rearrange existing ones."

Thomas E Lovejoy, Executive Vice President, World Wildlife Fund, 1986
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) was originally established in 1989 as The National Center for Human Genome Research (NCHGR). Its mission is to head the Human Genome Project for the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NHGRI is one of 24 institutes, centers, or divisions that make up the NIH, the federal government's primary agency for the support of biomedical research. The collective research components of the NIH make up the largest biomedical research facility in the world. NIH is part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

To carry out its diverse duties, NHGRI is organized into several administrative units including: the Office of the Director, the Division of Extramural Research, and the Division of Intramural Research
