What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes
As telomeres shorten with age, genes as far as 1,000 kilobases away could be affected, including one responsible for an inherited muscle disease.
The names and addresses of people participating in the Personal Genome Project can be easily tracked down despite such data being left off their online profiles.
