For example, Europeans are highly susceptible to cystic fibrosis, Asians to blood anemia and Africans to sickle cell disease. Through these findings, researchers were able to determine what diseases were common (as they were passed on through DNA). Through the creation of a high resolution human gene and sequence map, researchers can also discover the effect of environment on genetic susceptibility for disease, hence allowing new development in health care and medicine to be created. Moreover, Chakravati believes that by understanding the evolutionary principles of diseases, researchers can identify "new disease genes and [understand] the current world distribution of human genetic disease ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "DOI" : "10.1086/509090", "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "The American Society of Naturalists", "given" : "", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "The American naturalist", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2001", "10" ] ] }, "page" :...
