Human Genetic Variation "Breakthrough of the Year" - Science

Human Genetic Variation is the "Breakthrough of the Year" for Science magazine.

Humans are the same, somewhat so, even resembling apes thought scientists.

It appears that's not the case after all.

Researchers have learned, "in 2007, advances on several fronts drove home for the first time how much DNA differs from person to person, too. It's a huge conceptual leap that will affect everything from how doctors treat diseases to how we see ourselves and protect our privacy."

Each of us is indeed unique and wonderfully made, not by design some would say, but by chance.

Scientists think that as "technologies advance, many people will have some, perhaps all, of their own genomes sequenced and will be able to learn the diseases for which they are at risk."

Diabetes, lung cancer, liver disease, heart problems....

Gosh, we really are all very different.

I wonder how that happened.
