A MEASLES outbreak in the mining hub of Moranbah could spread nationwide, with authorities chasing 400 people potentially exposed to the virus who may have flown or driven out of the north Queensland community.

This year we will spend a lot of time studying genetics. I came across this site in the newspaper. This company offers to map a persons genome for $99.
Your genome is the list of base pairs that make your 30 000 genes.
If the information in the site is correct, this is pretty amazing. Check out the movie GATTACA.
