Before these new discoveries can be applied, more must be learned about the precise function of oncogenes in the cell. Every gene in nature carries a code, or recipe, for creating a specific protein. If a single gene is responsible for producing cancer, it must be a result of the protein that the gene creates. Researchers are just beginning to figure out what kinds of proteins oncogenes make. Once they do, scientists may be able to develop tests to detect tiny traces of these proteins; such tests could allow the diagnosis of cancer at a far earlier stage than...
Mailing-list brokers may suggest any of thousands of combinations of consumers. One popular strategy is to target mailings to households living in zip-code areas where the U.S. census has determined that high-income, free-spending families reside, such as New York City's fashionable Upper East Side (10021) or the ultra-upscale retirement community of Naples, Fla.

Kay, a freshman at Dartmouth, feels that "the anonymity is the nice part of it because it protects a person's social reputation."
