breast cancer susceptibility alleles with small individual effects on risk can be identified, so that combinations of lower-penetrance variants can be used to assess much of the remaining genetic risk. The consortium involved 20 collaborating research groups, many of which used Sequenom MassARRAY technology in their contributions.

-- In "A Genome-wide Map of Diversity in Plasmodium Falciparum," published in the February issue of in Nature Genetics, the authors, led by scientists at Harvard and MIT, reported their finding that the genetic variation of the malaria parasite has allowed it to overcome chemotherapeutic agents, vaccines, and other control strategies, and thus has remained a leading cause of global morbidity and mortality. The SNP genotyping was performed using the MassARRAY platform.
