However, biologists have remained unaware of what specific parts of DNA are responsible for in terms of cellular phenotype - observed properties of the cell. A group of researchers led by MIT Professor Jonathan Weissman has managed to make another scientific great leap forward by deciphering what each part of human DNA is responsible for in the working of a cell. Their discovery comes some 20 years after the human genome was sequenced. The results have been published in the Cell scientific journal, and the "screen" of all mapped links between the DNA and the functions will be available for other researchers to study. The research itself lays the groundwork for further trials - possibly from other
