The Human Genome Project revealed that only a small fraction of the 3 billion “letter” DNA code actually instructs cells to manufacture proteins, the workhorses of most life processes. This has raised the question of what the remaining part of the human genome does. How much of the rest performs other biological functions, and how much is merely residue of prior genetic events?

While it is well understood that the evolution of new genes leads to adaptations that help species survive, gene loss may also afford a selective advantage. A group of scientists has investigated this less-studied idea, carrying out the first systematic computational analysis to identify long-established genes that have been lost across millions of years of evolution leading to the human species. picked by AutumnLotus 8 months ago

Using supercomputers to compare portions of the human genome with those of other mammals, researchers at Cornell have discovered some 300 previously unidentified human genes, and found extensions of several hundred genes already known. The discovery is based on the idea that as organisms evolve, sections of genetic code that do something useful for the organism change in different ways. picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

An amazing collection of photographs of human rights issues from around the world, I was going to just submit one gallery but I've submitted the link to the site as theres so many great ones to look at.

A good place to start is HERE

Some of the galleries contain graphic pictures but are marked as graphic so just be careful picked by doggylives 5 months ago

The original Human Genome Project mapped the DNA from one person and took 13 years to complete. Today the 1000 Genome Project was announced - a plan to map the differences between individual humans that will give an insight into the physiological differences between us, and genetic diseases too. It is expected to take 3 years. picked by Pocksucket 7 months ago

For the first time in the world scientists have succeeded in developing human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) from a single cell, or blastomere, of a 4-cell stage embryo. This means it might be possible in the future to produce hESC lines at an earlier stage without destroying the embryo. picked by AutumnLotus 1 month ago

The idea of basic human rights is a relatively recent one. It grew in favor about the 18th century driven by a number of factors, the french and american revolution among them. Some say the birth of the novel is one of those forces that made be realize all humans has basic inalienable rights. picked by 2manyusernames 4 months ago
