Pseudo Biologist, Geological time scale is about it too!

That is the Coulter SI discussion for other readers.

Telomerase sounds like a real troublemaker. Pinning that one down seems like the king hit.

The whole business seems dead easy. Nothing like those slippery cdma photons hiding out in a sea of quantum physics. Cancer seems as easy as clipping a marker onto the right cells, then sic-ing some T-cells onto them. Or getting telomerase to de-enzyme itself. While the mechanisms are small, they look like very much like simple meccano set processes. Or Lego for the less elderly!

With enabling technology like AFFX's gene chip arrays, computers, magnetic resonance imaging, continuous blood monitoring, histological techniques and big floods of investment money looking for a better home than grossly overvalued Coke, Apple or McDonalds shares, progress should be quick.

Doug, re the human genome project, yes, that along with multitudes of peripheral research projects on genetics and other diseases will be synergistic over the whole field of human biology. AIDS too has been a big boost for NHL since many AIDS sufferers get NHL. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good. AIDS has engendered masses of research on NHL related fields and which will spill over onto many other fields.

Our crappy genetic structure seems to be the overall main problem. Roll on cloning, DNA design and build people and all that stuff. Having a child? Check out the menu of options. All guaranteed defect free - no cystic fibrosis, no Alzeihmers. Luddites and religious ideologues move out of the way. We're talking human freedom here!
