We owe it to a virus...
« on: November 18, 2007, 12:57:01 AM »
Found this one on Yahoo! news a little bit ago:http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20071114/sc_livescience/whatsinyourgenesancientparasites

Reading through the article, it makes' one wonder if they are close to "mapping" the Human Genome. Intruiging, to say the least.

Hmm does this mean that if you survive aids you might turn back to a chimp in the worst case? :D

I think the human genome mapping was completed in 2003.

it was mapped and decoded by a computer.


Thing is, the scientists will take decades glossing over the data trying to understand it all.
