    “CHINA has begun to enter the age of mass car consumption. This is a great and historic advance.” So proclaimed the state-run news agency, Xinhua, last year. Environmentalists may feel a twinge of fear at this burgeoning romance with motoring. But a rapid social and economic transformation is under way in urban China, and the car is steering it.

    In 2002 demand for cars in China soared by 56%, far more than even the rosiest projections. The next year growth quickened to 75%, before slowing in 2004 (when the government tightened rules on credit for car purchases) to around 15%. But in a sluggish global market, China’s demand remains mesmerising. Few expect this year’s growth to dip below 10%. As long as the economy goes on galloping at its current high-singledigit clip, many expect car sales to increase by 10-20% annually for several years to come.

Dog Genome Mapped, Shows Similarities to Humans

Researchers have finished mapping the genome of the domestic dog.

 

[1] The results show among other things that dogs, mice, and
humans share a core set of DNA.

 

A rough sequencing of a poodle's genome was reported in
2003, but it covered only about 75 percent of the genes.

 

[5] This time, "we have sequenced 99 percent of the genome
of a female boxer," said Kerstin Lindblad-Toh, a geneticist
at the Broad Institute of Harvard University and MIT in
Cambridge, Massachusetts. She is the lead author of the
dog-gene study, which appears tomorrow in the journal
[10] Nature.

 

The researchers also examined DNA from ten different dog
breeds to spot genetic differences between them.

The comparison could help scientists find the genetic roots
of dog behavior and physiology and − perhaps most
[15] importantly − help them identify genes that cause diseases
in both dogs and humans.
