Abstract
The Genetics Education Materials (GEM) database, accessible through http://genes-r-us.uthscsa.edu, provides a searchable listing of genetics public policy documents, clinical genetics education materials, and other peer-reviewed genetics publications. This new online database is designed to aid public health policy-makers, state genetics program planners, and health care professionals in locating relevant genetics materials. The GEM database is a project of the National Newborn Screening and Genetics Resource Center (NNSGRC), a cooperative agreement between the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and the Health Resources and Services Administration/Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB).
