Computer security in academia -- a potential roadblock to distributed annotation of the human genome

Article Abstract:

Security considerations adversely affect science and they increase the costs of using interoperating computers, diverting scarce resources from other activities. Security considerations make building intricate systems for interoperation between databases all the more difficult, as researchers have to continually check their interfaces for holes that would allow intruders in.

The Human Cancer Genome Project-one more misstep in the war on cancer

Article Abstract:

The Human Cancer Genome Project would be sequencing cancer genome that promises cures for each of 50 different types of cancer. Details of the massive genomic imbalances and unimpressive clinical track record has created problem in carrying out the $12 billion project.

Unlocking the potential of the human genome with RNA interference

Article Abstract:

The development of RNA interference (RNAi) as a genetic tool in mammals is chronicled. It has revolutionized approaches to decoding gene function and has the potential to be exploited therapeutically.
