The reams of data pouring in from genome projects render traditional gene-by-gene methods of analysis too slow for impatient geneticists. So researchers are designing a new generation of genome-probing techniques--ranging from laboratory screens to computer programs--to handle whole batches of genes simultaneously. Such industrial-strength approaches allow researchers to rapidly learn what genes actually do, and to ask new questions about entire genomes. Potential applications range from cancer research to DNA forensics.
