...question of 'why' loomed largely among the hundreds of students who fled the shooting yesterday. But Gill's blog paints a chilling portrait of a violent young man, harkening images of the teen killers who gunned down their 12 classmates and wounded 27 others and killing themselves at Columbine High School in Colorado...

If the tests suggest the customer has a gene that promotes, say, a bad cholesterol profile, it can tell that person, based on his dietary and lifestyle profile, how to modify his diet and habits to keep his good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol in healthy balance. Ditto for other genetic markers. Sciona, says Gill-Garrison, makes sure that each nugget of advice it offers is built...
