Abstract

In a recent press release, the British MRC announced a historic day in scientific history, the completion of the Ceanorhebtitis elegans genome. This first genetic blueprint of an animal adds more than 19,000 genes to the several hundred thousand already available. The sequence databases are regarded as a treasure store. Genome data mining shows signs of triggering a gold rush.
