He’s planting human genes in zebrafish to see what he can learn about brain development.

The university is one of five institutions to receive a $6.4 million grant for the project. Scientists have spent the last two decades identifying and mapping each of the three billion groups of molecules that make up human DNA. UNC School of Medicine doctor Jim Evans says the next step is developing genomes as a reliable way to identify genetic diseases.<br> Thu, 22 Dec 2011 10:00:00 +0000 Will Michaels 7073 at http://wunc.org
