Scientists identify more than 15 million places in the human genome where the genetic code differs from person to person.Researchers have found more than 15 million places in the human genome where the genetic code differs from person to person, providing a catalog of hot spots for genetic change that should speed the search for genetic causes of such complex disorders as diabetes, Alzheimer's and heart disease.
