    ``Researchers rushing to read the billions of letters of code in the human genome are getting a boost from a humble source – the mouse.

They hope to publish their findings later this year [Science or Nature, place your bets], at the same time that publicly funded researchers publish what they have been able to learn about the human genome. `It would be first analysis – how many genes are there, how many we have in common with other species,' Craig Venter, president and chief scientific officer of Celera, told Reuters in a telephone interview.''
