Is there a gene database on the web? Any web sites on the HGP? Can the HGP use robots to speed it up? Besides, comparing the data to the DBMS would speed up the identification/classification input-process. I know they use plastic matrix trays consisting of columns and rows to speed up identifying gene bases. Can't a CCTV and robots using multiple syringes automate the input process? I read that a human cell divides 50 times before dying. If this number can be extended, perhaps life can also be extended. What are the marker genes that control this process? Can fullerenes (Bucky balls) substitute RNA-material in the nucleus? Of coz, one needs to also repair DNA of other body parts: life extension without health is a waste of resources.
