This Week's Letters

A group of more than 20 scientists urges the National Human Genome Research Institute to look toward the next step as the Human Genome Project (HGP) nears completion: "detailed analysis of one or more primate genomes is essential to full accomplishment of the overall goals of the HGP." The Living with a Star initiative proposed by NASA and the role planned for The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in implementing the program if it is approved are discussed. And an idea that the sulfur isotope record from the Archean (around 3 billion years ago) could perhaps be explained by bacteria in the oceans that used molecular hydrogen instead of acetate for the reduction of sulfate is examined.
