  • Benefits of Human Genome Project
    Rapid progress in genome science and a glimpse into its potential applications have spurred observers to predict that biology will be the foremost science of the 21st century. Technology and resources generated by the Human Genome Project and other genomics research are already having a major impact on research across the life sciences. The potential for commercial development of genomics research presents U.S. industry with a wealth of opportunities, and sales of DNA-based products and technologies in the biotechnology industry are projected to exceed $45 billion by 2009 (Consulting Resources ...

  • Fantasy Football Explodes into Fiction

    Fifteen years ago, my friends and I wanted to get involved in fantasy sports. We had heard of Rotisserie baseball, the game where you select major leaguers and use their statistics for your own fantasy team. Most of us preferred football over baseball, so we did a little research and decided to create a fantasy football league. Now, we're entering our 16th season, with 20 of the most rabid football nuts anywhere, competing for pride and a small monetary prize each year.

    We're not alone, of course. Over 15 million Americans play fantasy football, a game that uses the statistics of prof ...

  • Suspense Novel Puts New Twist on an Old Game

    The League is a suspense/thriller that underscores how money and power affect people, with a unique game – fantasy football – as the vehicle.

    The novel’s protagonist, Jordan Young, and some of his friends create a unique, secret fantasy football league, composed of some of Wall Street’s wealthiest stock brokers, bankers, attorneys and entrepreneurs. They make fantasy teams, using various professional football players and pit their own teams against each other on Sundays, hoping to win the Fantasy Bowl and the enormous prize that comes with it.

  • Heredity Is Not Destiny: Do Health and Weight Problems Run in Your Family? It May Be Habits, Not Ge
    I grew up as an unathletic kid. My mother was unathletic, so she just assumed I was too. You see, our family has weak ankles and no coordination. It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized that all this was a lie. I wasn't unathletic - I just hated team sports.

A lot of the physical deficiencies that I thought I'd inherited were really born out of laziness and blind acceptance - those were the real d ...

  • New Gene Tool May Unlock Root Causes of Disease
    Copyright 2005 Daily News Central

    Genetic researchers have made substantial advances in understanding the root causes of common diseases and the history of human evolution, according to a series of reports published in scientific journals this week.

    Chief among these accomplishments is the work of an international consortium of more than 200 scientists from Canada, China, Japan, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States published in the October 27 issue of the journal Nature.

    The team studied DNA samples from four different parts of the world and concluded that gen ...
