Yet while scientific diplomacy required that Venter and Collins get equal recognition for this epochal achievement, insiders knew that, to paraphrase George Orwell, one man was more equal than the other. The genome would certainly have been sequenced if Craig Venter had never been born. But if he hadn't...
That is an understatement. Having the genome in hand will almost certainly be seen as one of the crowning achievements of the new century, no matter what else happens in the next 100 years. The genome--or, more precisely, the individual genes it contains--spell out the instructions for constructing...
GeneFormatics of San Diego, Calif., for instance, uses bioinformatic algorithms to help drug companies predict the function of proteins encoded by newly discovered genes. It does this by comparing the new proteins to proteins of known structure, generating a "fuzzy" picture of what each looks like. That, in turn, suggests...
Just as important as protecting healthy neurons is repairing or replacing nerve cells that have already been damaged. The body produces a whole bath of trophic-or growth-factors, that help neurons and other cells develop. If the brains of Parkinson’s patients could be fortified with additional trophic...
We've been mixing and matching genes for thousands of years. The benefits have always been enormous and there is every reason to believe things will stay that way.
