Bering Sea.

Scientists on board are conducting experiments to find out how
climate change is affecting the Bering Sea ecosystem.

Nature News Human Genome iPad special edition
The draft human genome sequence, announced in 2000 promised great
insights into human biology, medicine and evolution. To celebrate the
10th anniversary, Nature has repackaged the Human Genome at Ten news
special into a free iPad App.
In this special, we ask whether the sequence has delivered the
insights that were anticipated, and what lessons have been learned
from the first post-genome decade.
Download the Nature Human Genome iPad special edition FREE from the
App Store.
