...just a year ago geneticists got hold of a long-awaited tool for making those comparisons in bulk. Although the news was largely overshadowed by the impact of Hurricane Katrina, which hit the same week, the publication of a rough draft of the chimp genome in the journal Nature immediately told scientists several important things. First, they learned that overall, the sequences of base pairs that make up both species' genomes differ by 1.23%--a ringing confirmation of the 1970s estimates--and that the most striking divergence between them occurs, intriguingly, in the Y chromosome, present only in males...
...result, progress is maddeningly slow. And while he can't reveal details, P��bo says he'll soon be announcing in a major scientific journal the sequencing of 1 million base pairs of the Neanderthal genome. And he says he has 4 million more in the bag. Rubin, meanwhile, is also poised to publish his results, but refuses to divulge specifics. "P��bo's team has significantly more of a sequence than we do," he says. "Some of the dates will differ, but the conclusions are largely similar...
...Utah's entrepreneurial attitude that perhaps accounts most of all for the boom. A large portion of supplements is sold through multilevel marketing, commonly known as MLM--or person-to-person sales. The trade publication Nutrition Business Journal estimates that $7.7 billion in supplements was sold in U.S. vitamin stores last year, $6 billion by food markets and big-box outlets and $4.2 billion via MLM distribution. "It's a substantial figure," says journal editor Grant Ferrier. "Roughly 20% of all sales come from MLM, and Utah is the stronghold...
...politicians and the general public to believe journalists’ reports on the war in Iraq is a dangerous “denial of reality.” The film, which is directed and produced by Ahmed Jamal and narrated by Amanpour, follows the story of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl before and after his 2002 kidnapping by Omar Sheikh and other Islamic extremists. Amanpour said she hopes that the film will give the public a better understanding of what happened to Pearl and what is still happening to journalists today. Three years after the kidnapping, there...
...also bursting with charm and ideas. James Graham Ballard was born in Shanghai, where his father worked for a British textile company. After the family's wartime internment, Ballard studied medicine at Cambridge, trained as a pilot in the Royal Air Force and worked at a scientific journal. He started writing for science-fiction magazines and became a leading figure in sci-fi's New Wave, which eschewed outer space for the more immediate world. "I haven't written any science fiction since the 1960s," Ballard says from his home in the London exurb of Shepperton, where he has lived...
