Instead of spending time identifying genes, scientists can focus on understanding them. It is futile to predict the specifics, but the benefits of the genomic revolution will boggle the imagination in 150 years. Discussion Animals have a key role in your research. It is now possible to identify the nucleotides that cause simple diseases. We can replace genes in animals.
Mice can mimic changes in humans.
The genomic revolution allows us to move to humans. There are many parallels between the different organisms. The Human Genome Project has been hijacked by free enterprise. Celera's participation probably means that the sequence will be known 2 or 3 years ahead of schedule. There is more interest in knowing the differences between individuals than in knowing the basic gene sequence.
