scientists found the genetic roots of a number of commondiseasesResearch into disease-causing genes is beginning to enter the "net age", the American journal Science announced this yearIn the past year or two, research on
the pathogenesis of common diseases such as type 1 andtype 2 diabetes,schizophrenia,depression,enteritis
,glaucoma
,obesity, rheumatoid arthritis,hypertension, coronary heart disease, breast cancer, bowel cancer and prostate cancer has
unprecedented in the history of life sciences Technological breakthroughs are the main cause of this situation With the deepening of research
, scientists' understanding of the genetics of common diseases has changed profoundly Scientists have re-examined traditional ideas about genes and genetics try to understand disease from a new perspective some life scientists now believe that
the basic unit that determines genetic phenomena is single nucleotide polymorphisms, not genes, because of the difficulty of genetically interpreting life, said Lee Silver, a professor at Princeton University, who told Newsweek this year The rapid development of technology and theory shows that new major breakthroughs are brewing in the life sciences With the hunting of the root causes of disease and other work began to "net", life science is expected in the near future ushered in a large harvest period, there will be more life science seisofting for the benefit of mankind
