It's life, Jim, but...

Surprises keep trickling in from the informational wellspring known as the Human Genome Project. Today we find out that you and I aren't as close as we thought we were. It turns out that we differ not only in the sequence of A's, T's, C's and G's, but also in how many REPEATS of certain genes we have.

In related news, we also aren't as close to the chimps as we once thought we were. This is extremely timely news, seeing as how many of us are locked in Darwinian struggles with our relatives this very day... Happy Thanksgiving!!
