31.   The diabetes work was done mostly before the human genome sequence became available, and such studies should be much easier in future.

32.   The consortium has made its genome sequence free to everyone, denouncing Celera as a commercial operation that will not produce a perfectly finished genome.

33.   The consortium of scientists unveiled the full genome sequence of this bacterium in the current issue of the journal Nature.

34.   The gaps in its fruit fly genome sequence were mostly small holes of known length and position that could be filled in later and were of minor significance.

35.   The estimates were made largely by computer analysis of the genome sequence, and some scientists have long maintained that many genes were missed.

36.   The genome sequence is expected in time to revolutionize knowledge of the human body and the practice of medicine.

37.   The institute, which is allied with Human Genome Sciences, announced the first three bacterial genome sequences last year.

38.   The genome sequence is expected to become the nucleus of medicine, because it represents the programming for the human organism.

39.   The genome sequence is making clear why.

40.   The publication of the first interpretations of the human genome sequence this week overturns some long-held beliefs about human biology.
