    [1]对于酒精的味觉也与一个名叫COMT(儿茶酚抑喘定转移酶)的基因的变种有联系,它对应一种可以使多巴胺失效的酵素。然而,我的基因组包含一个变体,该变体与一个较低的酗酒可能性相联系。尽管我喜欢喝酒,看起来我更愿意通过有刺激性的事物来激发我的快乐中枢。

    [1]褐色眼睛有和蓝色眼睛同样多的黑色素细胞,但是它们产生相对较多的黑色素。蓝色并不是由于黑色素本身的颜色而是由于黑色素细胞的光散射效应(就像天空是蓝色的一样)。新生婴儿眼睛是蓝色的是因为他们还没有生成很多的黑色素。

    [4]1999年3月15日星期一,NHGRI发布:人类基因组计划宣布已成功完成了试验性计划,开始大规模地以新颁布的加速的时间表来测序人类基因组:

    国际人类基因组计划今天宣布他们已经完成了测序人类基因组的先期试验性工作阶段,开始大规模地测序所有约30亿个字母(被称为碱基对)的人类DNA的说明书。在这些试验性工作的基础上,一个国际协会预言在2000年春天之前他们将会产生至少90%人类基因组序列的“研究草图”,比预期有相当的提前。“我非常高兴看到人类基因组计划对完成人类历史上的最重要的科学计划——揭开遗传密码的秘密——的积极影响。该计划将会改变我们对自己身体和疾病的认识,提高对一些现代医学难以处理的疾病的治疗、治愈和控制手段,”副总统阿尔·戈尔说,“尤其使我感到激动的是,我们正在进入全面测序阶段并且有望提前原计划一年半完成一个工作草图。”

    英国主要的基因测序试验室桑格中心的主任约翰·萨尔斯顿博士攻击美国塞雷拉公司以及它的主任克雷格·文特尔博士,说他们试图出售DNA数据牟利,而该数据既包括公共数据也包括私人数据。他们还使用该计划的遗传信息来读取人类基因组,国际上对此争论日益激烈,萨尔斯顿说公众必须知道事情的真相。他对BBS说:“如果它对我们不是这样严肃的话,这本应该是件愉快的事。”萨尔斯顿博士说:“塞雷拉吸取了所有的公众数据,加上他们自己的一点点数据然后成套出售。对于想要购买它的人来说这也不错,这由他们决定。”但是他补充说塞雷拉的数据是某种“欺骗性工作……正在浮现的事实是绝对非常规的。他们真的试图建立一个为期5年左右的关于人类基因组的完全垄断的地位。除了是‘拥有’人类基因本身的伦理问题,”萨尔斯顿博士认为,“危险的是塞雷拉将会一意孤行并劝说政客们减少对基因研究的公共基金支持,因为他们会认为私人公司就可以做所有的事情了。”
