``A team from the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology at Cambridge are confident they will have cracked the genetic code of Cryptosporidium by the end of the year. The breakthrough could lead to the development of drugs to treat the gastrointestinal disease which the parasite causes - cryptosporidiosis....MCR researcher Dr Paul Dear told BBC News Online that the technique his team were using had helped to speed up the process of sequencing the parasite's genes. Usually, geneticists break up genetic material in minute pieces for analysis, then analyse them and attempt to fit them back together in a process similar to completing a jigsaw puzzle [i.e., the shotgun method]. Dr Dear's team are creating a map of the genetic material before it is broken up for analysis.''
