    ''In a major step toward a new era of gene-based medicine and disease treatment, two research centers are expected to announce on Monday that they separately have sketched a map detailing the secrets of human genetic structure. Scientists say their project – called sequencing the human genome – eventually will enable them to determine what each gene does. The Human Genome Project and Celera Genomics Inc. will hold news conferences in Washington. Announcements are also expected in London at the Sanger Center, where some of the sequencing work is being conducted.''

Genetics of Skin Color
Submitted by Nobody ; posted on Wednesday, January 5, 2005
I have a pretty basic and probably stupid question for those here. Can a person who "looks" entirely dark skinned, and a person who "looks" entirely light skinned, produce a child who is the same amount of "dark" or "light" as their parents? If not, is it because the color of skin tone is a mix between the two pigments? Thanks.
