Gene Networks The article linked above provides the latest news in the search for genes related to obesity. It turns out that genes are triggered in cascades of activity (expression) dubbed as "networks" by the researchers.

This research should lead to insights concerning the type of obesity that particular individuals are likely to develop should they over eat. Great stuff.
