The success of the technique in the worm, whose catalogue of genes is relatively small and well-mapped, is a strong indication that it can be applied to the human genome as well, the authors say.

With the catalogue of mutations in hand, Daley said, physicians could one day examine patients who've relapsed because of resistance to Gleevec and pinpoint which of the 112 mutations is causing problems, or better still, detect the presence of a mutation before the pa...Stanford biomedical ethicist speaks on role of race in scientific research

Although studies differ in the way they catalogue variation, Cho said they all have the effect of grouping people based on genetic characteristics, often along racial lines, and that this raises ethical and social questions.

The researchers discovered 232 multi-protein machines, 134 of which were totally new.
