FEATUREThe Human Genome Project +5 © CHRISTIAN DARKIN BY VICTOR K. McELHENY Five years after publication of two drafts of the human genome, Maynard Olson of the University of Washington finds himself longing for another "lurch." To be sure, genomic scientists across the world have chalked up many achievements since 2001, but, like many of his colleagues, Olson is feeling more impatient than celebratory.

FEATUREHuman Interactome Project An investment of $100 million should be enough to correlate the genome with function, and identify new basic research and drug targets BY MARC VIDAL© THOM GRAVESMapQuest and global positioning systems have radically changed the way we travel. By showing us where we are relative to where we want to go, these tools simplify the job of getting from point A to point B, and make trave
Pufferfish Genomes Probe Human Genes

It may be humbling to think that humans have much in common with pufferfish, but at the genome level, the two are practically kissing cousins. "In terms of gene complement, we are at least 90% similar—probably higher. There are big differences in gene expression levels and alternate transcripts, but if you're talking about diversity, number and types of proteins, then it's pretty difficult to tell us apart," says Greg Elgar, group leader of the Fugu genome project at the Medical Research C
