An international team of scientists has created the world's largest catalogue of genomic differences among humans, providing researchers with powerful clues to help them establish why some people are susceptible to various diseases.

Scientists have long believed that Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) tells the cells how to make proteins. But the discovery of a new, second DNA code Thursday suggests the body speaks two different languages.
