laodan discovered 20 months ago- Genetics finding hailed as major breakthrough in Science Blog, Nature and The Independant
We always knew that we each had our own, individual copy of The Book of Life, where the spellings of our genetic code differed ever so slightly. But a series of scientific studies published today show that it's not only single letters but sentences, paragraphs, and even whole pages that can be missing or duplicated. In the leading publication in Nature, an international team has produced a map of such changes among 270 copies of the human genetic code that is already revealing new routes for finding genes involved in disease.

I like the introductory description given in Science Blog: "The Book of Life... the spellings of our genetic code... not only single letters but sentences, paragraphs, and even whole pages that can be missing or duplicated"
