Genes are gonna finally get some directions. One thousand people have agreed to have their genes analysed in a bid to help understand how genes influence disease.
Although a few scientists have offered themselves up for the so-called 'gene mapping,' this will be the first time such a large quantity of people have undergone the research. Previous 'maps' have come from Craig Venter and the controversially 'part-African' DNA pioneer, Dr. Watson.
Praise for the research has already been received from the UK and China with them saying that "the project will create the most useful catalogue ever of genetic variation."
I'd have my genes mapped, as long as they came with a free 'travel-blanket' and 'magnifying glass.'

Maybe this will finally solve the mystery of the "Black Sheep" family gene.-
