At the same time, however, scientists have come to appreciate what can be gained from decoding other genomes, from modern chimps and ancient cave bears to microscopic bacteria and viruses. As the cost of sequencing each base pair has dropped, from $10 in 1990 to less than 9˘ in 2002...
Now, Hopkins investigates the genetics of zebrafish, isolating genes that are necessary to the development of the fish.
“We isolated a very big fraction of genes necessary to make these fish, and it turns out that many of them have human counterparts, and many of them turn out to be involved in human diseases,” she says.
So as Jamie dismantled the collegiate field and was named to the Olympic four headed to Athens, Griffin bought into coach Charley Butt’s advice about technique. He had the genes, he had the erg scores, and he had the competitive spirit with his brother keeping him going?...
