"Genetics in Cyberspace" was a major focus at the Southern Genetics Meeting in July, 1995. Stephanie Smith from the University of Mississippi comandeered a truckload of hardware and was able to put on an outstanding display of Electronic Genetics Resources.
Participants at the meeting at the Ramada Inn at Fort Walton Beach had two full days to try their hand at surfing the Net in addition to working with the London Dysmorphology Database, OMIM on CD-ROM, and the POSSUM video disk system.
SERGG continues to lead the way to the 21st Century!!

The University of Alabama at Birmingham Laboratory of Medical Genetics teamed up with the medical informatics groups at the School of Allied Health Professions and the Civitan Research Center to begin a new SPRANS project funded by the Genetic Disease Branch, Maternal and Child Health Bureau, DHHS. The goal of this project is to develop and test a new software and www application that will provide primary care providers with basic, "What do I do now" information about genetic diagnosis and genetic services.
