An article by Malcolm Ritter:
``Scientists have mapped patterns of tiny DNA differences that distinguish one person from another, an achievement that will help researchers find genes that promote common illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes.
``The map represents `a real sea change in how we study the genetics of disease,' said Dr. David Altshuler, a leader of the project that included more than 200 researchers from six nations.''
