We proceed, one generation to the next, through genes and memes. It was the Oxford evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins who proposed some years ago that, just as genetics has genes, culture must have its own units of transmission, which he called "memes"-ideas of all kinds, images, tunes, games, concepts...
Eventually, the goal is to detect precisely which molecular processes have gone wrong in an individual patient's cancer. Rather than being identified as lung cancer or breast cancer or kidney cancer, tumors will be tagged as EGFR positive, for example, or COX-2 positive. "The dream," says M.D. Anderson...
Stopping Cancer In Its Tracks New discoveries about wayward genes and misbehaving proteins show how cells become malignant ? and perhaps how to bring them under control April 25, 1994 Read the Cover Story >>

First, that with only 30,000 genes to go around (of which, it's been argued, only 3,000 or so are viable from a pharmaceutical point of view) the golden age of medical applications (meaning, $$$) could be brutish and short. Second, that the pointy end of genomics' scalpel would...
