Scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have completed the mapping of the entire human genetic code, giving researchers the ability – for the first time – to understand the function of each of the 20,000-plus genes that make up the human genome. world Israeli news.com https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BjAwlCoHJ0A
High in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Spain, an international team of researchers set out four buckets to gather a shower of viruses falling from the sky. Scientists have surmised there is a stream of viruses circling the planet, above the planet’s weather systems but below the level of […]
Most textbooks talk of four DNA bases. Later research has shown there to be five. No, wait, cross that out, there could be six. Scientists suggest that the methyl-adenine is the sixth base and that it is medically important. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the main component of genetic […]
http://www.collective-evolution.com/2015/03/01/new-ancient-mystery-human-species-identified-shakes-up-the-theory-of-evolution/ Evolution is something scientists have observed at several different levels in nature, and when it comes to human ancestry, they’ve been able to collect bits and pieces of the giant puzzle that is human evolution. We do know that some form of evolution (scientifically speaking) has occurred […]
International Business Times – Jayalakshmi K In a first, the Johns Hopkins team used the techniques to modify and tailor human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The genome editing method uses an enzyme that pins together DNA with a piece of small RNA that guides the tool to where researchers […]
