Human Genome Far More Complex – Good stuff, bad stuff

The deepest look into the human genome so far shows it to be a richer, messier and more intriguing place than was believed just a decade ago, scientists said Wednesday.

While the findings underscore the challenges of tackling complex diseases, they also offer scientists new terrain to unearth better treatments.

The new insight is the product of Encode, or Encyclopedia of DNA Elements, a vast, multiyear project that aims to pin down the workings of the human genome in unprecedented detail.

The human genome project, it is always worth repeating, was led by a devout Christian, Francis Collins.
