This is the way Boies rehearses for a critical oral argument: he is in a conference room in San Francisco, spending his Sunday afternoon preparing his appeal in the attempt to vacate a crippling lower-court order in the Napster case. Fueled on junk food (in his hierarchy of tastes...
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...
Comparing the human genome with those of other organisms, from bacteria to insects to mammals, will help biologists understand how more complex species evolved from simpler ones--and even pinpoint the precise bits of genetic information that are uniquely human. "It has to be a milestone in human history when...
Some of the discoveries that will flow from the genome sequence (and from the necessary next steps of identifying its genes and specifying their functions) are more or less predictable. By noting which genes are inactive--or inappropriately active--in people with cancer, heart disease and dozens of other illnesses...
