...should need to run for your seats, and you really don't now," added Vice President Samuel C. Cohen '00, who sponsored the bill...
...Cohen's advice was less suggestive: "Foremostin my mind, I'd like to see this council make aconcerted effort for the creation of a studentcenter," he said
...million biochemical "beacons" found along the human genome. By comparing the DNA of many individuals in and around these signposts, Genset hopes to pick out specific genes whose malfunctions actually cause disease. It has already begun to work. Using this technique, says Genset chief genomics officer Dr. Daniel Cohen, the company has found two different genes involved in prostate cancer. Cohen points out that the 20 most common diseases, which kill about 80% of the population, are probably linked to some 200 genes out of the body's 100,000. It only makes sense, he says, to look first...
...narrowly focused as their efforts are, Cohen and Scott are using gene-mapping techniques that are not very different from the Human Genome Project's. Craig Venter, on the other hand, has taken a radical approach, one that resembles paper shredding more than it does mapmaking...
Whether or not Venter succeeds in putting his Humpty Dumpty genome back together again, his basic premise, shared by the competition at Genset and Incyte, remains compelling: you don't need the entire genome mapped to high precision to make big advances. Cohen's discoveries of prostate-cancer genes are one example. Similarly, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, part of NIH's National Library of Medicine, is using databases of partial gene sequences to zero in on genes that make aberrant proteins in ailments like Parkinson's disease...
