...this real or is this fabricated?" In turn, Yi asked his counterparts if they had the sequences for the human patient now recovering in Guangzhou No. 8 People's Hospital. They produced their documents. It turned out they had not yet analyzed this virus' phylogenetic origins, the RNA road map that would offer some understanding of how this particular strain would be related to those previously gathered. Yi suggested they send their sequences to his lab in Hong Kong, where his technicians and assistants were standing by to use their computer modeling programs to analyze the amino-acid sequences...

...Lasik in town. You remember the old Lasik, the eye operation that improves vision by reshaping the cornea with lasers. The new version is called wavefront-guided Lasik and depends on technology developed by astronomers to correct problems in high-powered telescopes. Wavefront Lasik uses 200 little lenses to map the cornea, taking into account all its bumps and abnormalities to produce a highly accurate, individualized prescription. Conventional Lasik, by contrast, applies one standard formula to each eye. If the old Lasik is off the rack, wavefront is a custom-fit procedure. Studies show that the new method reduces...

...what is Dean's road map? The way it usually works is that once a candidate gets his party's nomination, he makes a play for the center. Democrats always need to run left in the primaries and then move to the center; Republicans start on the right but try to end up in the middle. If Dean wins, the Republicans will spend millions of dollars painting him into a liberal corner, but if he has proved nothing else so far, he has shown that he is a nimble and resilient politician who can dodge labels...

...asked his Chinese counterparts if they had the sequences for the human case now recovering in Guangzhou No. 8 People's Hospital. They produced their documents. It turned out that though they had done the sequencing, they had not yet analyzed this virus' phylogenetic origins, the RNA road map that would offer some understanding of how this particular strain would be related to those previously gathered. Yi suggested they send their sequences to his lab in Hong Kong, where his technicians and assistants were standing by?they worked almost as hard as Yi?and would use their computer modeling programs...
