Red, curly hair runs in some families and black, straight hair in others.
Some families include many people who live into their late nineties or

mapping will allow a health plan for each person, preventing genetic disease
and promoting a better life. Cancer and heart disease will be prevented and
cured with gene therapy. Joseph L. Goldstein, a Nobel Prize winner at the
University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, notes that 30 years ago,
no one would have predicted monoclonal antibodies, genome mapping or
transgenic animals. His prediction? Expect the unexpected!
