Thousand people cardholders their genotype. This will allow scientists to track how a person's genes influence the predisposition to certain diseases, reports BBC. Genotype could explain why two genetically similar to 99% of the people alone, for example, more inclined to sexually transmitted diseases. The possibility to create directories genotypes have led to the discovery of more than 100 fields of genetics. Genotype - a set of genes in an organism that determines the phenotype (what it would be to see the body, a lot of their external characteristics). With the help of maps genotype Scientists want vulnerabilities predict disease in individual cases, such as the possibility of diabetes, breast cancer or rheumatoid arthritis. "The dream of the people working in this field in order to obtain a complete picture of all the parts of the human DNA, and also get the opportunity to see different genotypes of people," - said Dr. Richard Durbin (Richard Durbin). According to him, 1,000 volunteers will help them track the sequence to detect a difference between the people at the genetic level and to establish a fund for the future of human genetics.
