Science SNP Mappers Confront Reality and Find It Daunting
[summary - can be viewed for free once registered]
"The genetic markers called SNPs have been widely touted as the key to personalized medicine, with drugs tailored to an individual's genotype and simple tests to determine one's risk of specific diseases. But a closed meeting held last week, sponsored by the SNP Consortium and the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute, concluded that those promises may be harder to achieve than expected, and that more SNPs may be required to track down a particular disease gene than previously estimated. ”

Bioinformatics will be at the core of biology in the 21st century. In fields ranging from structural biology to genomics to biomedical imaging, ready access to data and analytical tools are fundamentally changing the way investigators in the life sciences conduct research and approach problems. Complex, computationally intensive biological problems are now being addressed and promise to significantly advance our understanding of biology and medicine. No biological discipline will be unaffected by these technological breakthroughs.
