Although the new gene is found most often in sporadic cancers, it also occurs in a rare hereditary cancer, Cowden disease. 5. Although the quest for genetic links to behavior is old, the difference now, scientists say, is that techniques are suddenly available to find such genes. 6. Although some genes have been found by conventional means, the genome sequence can reveal many more with a simple computer search instead of experiments that take days. 7. And if he had not received a letter from the Dysautonomia Foundation asking him to find the gene? 8. And finding genes is only the first step. 9. A California startup called DNA Sciences is introducing a Web site this week that will recruit people to donate their DNA to help find genes that cause disease. 10. A team of geneticists and linguists say they have found a gene that underlies speech and language, the first to be linked to this uniquely human faculty. |
