The '''Human Genome Organisation''' (HUGO) is an organization involved in the [[Human Genome Project]], a project about mapping the human genome.  HUGO was established in 1989 as an international organization, primarily to foster collaboration between genome scientists around the world.  The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee ([http://www.genenames.org/ HGNC]) is one of HUGO's committees and aims to assign a unique gene name and symbol to each human gene.
