The Diseases are all Connected!

Here is a really cool article from the New York Times called Mapping the human 'Diseasome.' It's not really an article, rather, a map showing how different diseases are connected by the genes they have in common. Some of these diseases include deafness, obesity, leukemia, colon cancer, cardiomyopathy, and much more. If you're super interested in genes...or not...you should definitely look at this. It's way awesome.
