The team, at the J Craig Venter Institute, in the US, examined six drug-metabolising genes in the genomes of the pair. Pauline Ng, a researcher, said: "Two Caucasian males - one wouldn't guess they'd respond differently to drugs. But ... we found that for one drug-metabolising gene, Watson's DNA indicated he was likely to respond to drugs differently."
