The future solution of many diseases now considered incurable consists of a detailed description of the genetic map. According to many theories, the key to diseases without a particular origin could be in their own genes and, until it is known, a solution cannot be offered. Despite the opinions, the researchers' efforts go in this direction and believe that in a few years the knowledge of the gene map will be considered normal. The steps for this are faster than many think and Merck&Co. In order to comply with the company's announcement, we will soon be able to see and know the results of the investigations of the last five months: Sequence of 15,000 genes.

5 months ago Porn.com Researchers from the pharmaceutical laboratory and the University of Washington in Missouri enthusiastically began their work. The identification of DNA and the composition of gene sequences as a function has generated many headaches, but in the end they have managed to complete the expected sequence. On the occasion of the opening of a new research path, the program named Merck Gene Index aims to identify 300,000 gene sequences. The results obtained will be analyzed at the Genbank Research Center, specifically in the section dedicated to the research of gene development sequences. For this, Merck&Co will have an 18-month deadline.

On the contrary, the news has not achieved the wide echo expected by many. Distrust has prevailed among researchers. As long as it is not clear who and how will take advantage of the results obtained by the Institute of Genetic Research, researchers have shown their opposition to the law and even ethics.
