New DNA map helps fight harmful genes

Scientists have created many maps of DNA differences that make one different from the other. This achievement will help researchers understand 'bad' genes, which promote the formation of common diseases such as heart disease and diabetes.

This map shows ' changes that help us study disease genes ', said Dr. David Altshuler, project leader of more than 200 researchers from 6 countries around the world.

This project analyzed DNA samples from 269 people from Nigeria, Beijing, Tokyo and Utah. According to experts, ' this is a victory of scientific research cooperation and a landmark achievement '.

David Goldstein and Gianpiero Cavalleri of University Duke University said the map will help scientists understand genetic differences, which can help predict patients' reactions to special therapies and One day can be used to guide care for patients.
