Debates over credit for the annotation of
genomes
Researchers who devote themselves to
sequencing genomes often lack the time to
interpret their results. Others don't. The tensions
that can result reflect the need for a rethink of
sequencers' priorities or a change in approach to
collaboration.

Oceanography: Moon, tides and climate
CARL WUNSCH
The view that much of the energy of ocean tides is
dissipated in deep water, rather than in shallow
coastal seas, now finds observational support.
Curiously, the results bear upon our understanding

Demography: Greater lifetime expectations
SHIRO HORIUCHI
Life expectancy at birth is increasing in most of the

implications for planning future health care and
pensions.

Fluid dynamics: Smart polymer solutions
JACOB KLEIN
Water-repellent layers on the surface of leaves
keep plants healthy, but also make it difficult to

the answer, by stopping the drops from bouncing

Neurobiology: Nervous engineering
MELITTA SCHACHNER
The ability to repair damaged human nerve tissue
would be highly beneficial. A promising 'biomaterial'
for this purpose consists of a peptide scaffold that
acts as a substrate for the attachment and growth of
neurons. But the system will require much more
development before it can be considered clinically
viable.

Cell biology: GTPase traffic control
CHANNING J. DER AND WILLIAM E. BALCH
Cdc42 is a small GTPase that interacts with various
downstream targets to regulate many cellular
processes. The latest target to be identified is a
subunit of a complex involved in vesicle formation.
Surprisingly, this subunit may be required for Cdc42
to induce cells to switch to malignant growth.

Genetics: Fungal get-together
NICHOLAS P. MONEY
Mushrooms are the fruit bodies of certain fungi and
usually develop from two compatible colonies. A
study of one such fungus, however, shows that
during a particular period the mushrooms were
mosaics ? that is, they formed from several
genetically distinct populations of cells. The
reasons remain mysterious.

The completion of entire genome sequences of

develop new technologies that exploit genome data
to ask entirely new kinds of questions about the
