As for BRCA1, New Scientist reports that the Myriad amended their claims for it in 1995, correcting a few base pairs months after their first filing, during which time the sequence was published in the open literature.
Myriad asserted that one of the cancer-linked mutations was a change in codon 1541 from GAG to TAG.
Myriad were detected precisely because those mutations are exactly what people are trying to find.

Preparation also means efforts to pave the way for change in order to increase your chances of success-- like working on a consensus of your peers before approaching the boss with those suggested changes around the office.
Indeed, one way the Traveler may be able to determine the rate of progress across dimensions is notice how quickly a particular familiar face is replaced in significance by a new one in their personal lives.
In this way might Traveling be similar to a game from our childhood; incorporating the hints of "warmer" and "colder" in our perceptions, as we move to or away our desired destination.

 GOP Tilting Balance Of Power to the Right
The campaign to prevent the Senate filibuster of the president's judicial nominations was simply the latest and most public example of similar transformations in Congress and the executive branch stretching back a decade.
The idea was to put power in the hands of a few leaders and place conservative loyalists in the most important lower-level jobs to move legislation as quickly as possible through Congress, according to current and former lawmakers.
In a recent interview he said some judges have "deliberately decided to be in the face of the president and Congress." Senate Republicans are weighing legislation to limit court authority, as well.

The shoulder joint is an exceptionally mobile joint, consequently many muscles are required to move the upper arm in all its myriad ways.
In addition to the muscles that move the humerus, there are other muscles, also situated on the back and chest, that move the collarbone and shoulder blade.
If a person sits in a back-oriented way, free movement will be compromised and the playing will not be as good as it could be.

 All the Myriad Ways - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
All the Myriad Ways is a collection of short stories and essays by science fiction author Larry Niven, originally published in 1971.
In the eponymous story contained within, Niven attempted to craft a response to stories featuring the many-worlds interpretation as a key plot point, taking the social implications of infinite realities to a depressing conclusion.
All the Myriad Ways features the essay Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex, a humorous discussion of the difficulties Superman might encounter in trying to conceive a child with Lois Lane.

Put it all together, and there were myriad ways for the House of Bush to engage in lucrative business deals with the House of Saud and the Saudi merchant elite.
In all, at least $1.476 billion had made its way from the Saudis to the House of Bush and its allied companies and institutions.
It could safely be said that never before in history had a presidential candidate -- much less a presidential candidate and his father, a former president -- been so closely tied financially and personally to the ruling family of another foreign power.

Niven believes that this question is the foundation of the interplay of ideas that attract young readers to his alternate history fiction.
In the case of "All the Myriad Ways," he challenges the validity of the very concept of alternate histories by revealing the contradictions of physics that would be inherent in the concept.

 Ursula K. LeGuin- American SF and the Other
This being can be different from you in its sex; or in its annual income; or in its way of speaking and dressing and doing things; or in the color of its skin, or the number of its legs and heads.
And this tradition still flourishes: witness Larry Niven's story "Inconstant Moon" (in All the Myriad Ways, 1941) which has a happy ending—consisting of the fact that America, including Los Angeles, was not hurt by a solar flare.
With Smith, interestingly enough, the racial alien is combined with the social alien, in the "Underpeople," and they are allowed to have a revolution.

There are only a set number of ways in which humans go insane.
Think of any given case of dementia, and you can come up with plenty of similar ones: you have paranoids convinced that their thoughts are being read - by their TV, by aliens, by invisible beams - or that the people they see on the street are all agents.
There could be any number of genetic and/or environmental factors that push the brain into one of these conditions, just the same way that you can tumble into a hole by coming from any direction on the surface.

The purpose of any good fiction, after all, is not to examine the created world alone, but to hold up that created world as a mirror to the reality we all experience.
Shorter tales All the Myriad Ways and The Undiscovered are some of the best in this book, although I enjoyed Dance Band on the TITANIC quite a bit as well.
Only two examples stood out as lesser – and that was mostly in comparison to the ‘competition’ in the collection: The Death of Captain Future is amusing, although I’m not sure why it was included into an counterfactual book.

 Fantastic Metropolis » The Best Alternate History Stories of the 20th Century   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
There are other stories that are as good as the Sanders, but here lies yet another problem with this book: A considerable portion of its contents are, in fact, not alternate history stories.
A few concern themselves with the existence of alternate timelines (Larry Niven’s gimmicky and all too obvious “All the Myriad Ways” and Jack Chalker’s gripping and haunting “Dance Band on the Titanic,” to name two), without actually taking place in an alternate history.
One story, Allen Steele’s wry deconstruction of juvenile pulp SF, “The Death of Captain Future,” fails to incorporate even the slightest notion of alternate history (or, if it did, that aspect went right over my head).

I read All the Myriad Ways 20 years ago.
But my favorite parts of this classic are the two main stories: "All The Myriad Ways," and "Inconstant Moon." The latter story is better than "Titanic." I've got an old 1975 copy of this, complete with cheezy 70's computer fonts on the cover..
The title short story is my favorite short or long story ever, exploring the possibility of alternate unverses, in which every choice that could ever have been made, was made all possible ways.

 Review of Supermen
S., which is possibly a shame—certainly it’s too bad to miss out on Larry Niven’s hilarious dissection of Superman’s sex life found in (I believe) All the Myriad Ways and mentioned by Asimov himself in The Hugo Winners, volume two.
There are no stories here by Asimov himself, and I really can’t say that they‘re representative of the best sf has to offer.
Gordon R. Dickson’s "In the Bone", for example, is kind of interesting in a Robinson Crusoe sort of way but not his best; nor is Poul Anderson’s very long "Un-man" anywhere near as good as he can do.
