Somewhere along the way, it seems like the small pond we started fishing in has turned into an open sea. Today, with the entire human genome one of the hottest fishing spots around, the pool of genes waiting to be hooked seems ever increasing. As every seasoned angler knows, you need the right tools for the job--right rod, right line, right bait--and the same is true when you're fishing for gene sequences. If you're having trouble fishing ...
