Scientists are preparing to map out the Human Epigenome

Hopefully the funding will come through.

Meanwhile, here's a story about a Lab-on-a-chip device that's already coming through:

Perhaps devices like these will bring down the costs of biotech research. I wonder if we'll one day see chips with millions of mixing chambers, as complex as a Pentium.

The first link with the " Human Epigenome Project " definately interests me. I hope they can eventually answer the basic questions: How, When, Where, Why,What and others, when it comes to this sorth of research. As said in my last post, I see our ability in research is ever increasing due to technological advancement and vice versa. Those guys are actually looking at molecules bonding with the genetic matter, impressive. [sfty]
