Only social and legal pr
17、oblems are likely to delay the age of “genome sequences,”or genetic profiles. By 2019 it will have become routine to map infants genes when they are born,Dr Flatly told The Times. This will open a new approach to medicine,by which conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease can be predi

25、often considered the city of romance, close to a million adults who call it home are single. Many single people say that Frances capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people.
