Eliot Marshall

The U.S. government is getting set to launch a big addition to its human genome project this winter. Details of the venture--which involves sequencing snippets of DNA from hundreds of individuals of different racial backgrounds and putting them in a public repository--were discussed at a meeting at the National Institutes of Health last week, and a funding announcement could be issued within a month. The variations could serve as landmarks in a fine-scale map of the genome.
