In 1984, a group of 600 people got together and bought a theatre which was on land marked for the development of apartments in Surry Hills, Sydney.

AbstractBlood cells contain functionally important intracellular structures, such as granules, critical to immunity and thrombosis. Quantitative variation in these structures has not been subjected previously to large-scale genetic analysis. We perform genome-wide association studies of 63 flow-cytometry derived cellular phenotypes—including cell-type specific measures of granularity, nucleic acid content and reactivity—in 41,515 participants in the INTERVAL study.
