  • Enabling Technology
    You know you are a PC addict when you can't tear yourself away from what you're doing to watch X-Files. On the plus side, you know you can cope with your addiction if you can manage to raise yourself out of the swivel chair for long enough to set the video. Millions of people watch X-Files and even there are fan clubs on the Net. Its members call themselves X-Philes the sort of word play that only works online.

    Of course, with huge viewers you hardly need to go online to contact a fellow fan, but it's an example of the way in which PC technology enables you to extend your enjoyment of a ...

  • Obesity & it's relationship to Anoraxia, Bulimia and other eating disorders.
    Obesity is a disease that affects approximately 60 million people in the United States, and women are especially affected. Over o­ne-third of women between the ages of 20 and 74 are obese, the majority of them being African American or Mexican American. With more and more pre-packaged food and less and less activity, the number of obese people in America has steadily increased since the 1960’s.

    But what is obesity? Many people think obesity means that a person is overweight, but that’s not exactly true. An overweight person has a surplus amount of weight that includes muscle, bone, ...

  • Birth Defects and Miscarriages and Infertility

    Messing around with a mother’s DNA or the DNA of her baby is one of the things that can lead to a miscarriage and birth defects. DNA tells the baby AND the mother “when to do what”. Need a leg? Then you need some specific event at some specific time. If the part of the DNA that controls legs is either damaged or altered by some environmental chemical, the leg won’t be there. And you can’t add it later. It can only develop at one very specific time.

    Fusarenon – This is a toxin that will interfere with DNA.

    It is produced by several molds including:

    * Aspergillus sp

    Genetic Testing Still Smart Choice During In Vitro Fertilization, Despite Uncertainties
    Screening embryos for genetic diseases during in vitro fertilization offers couples the best chance for a healthy child, but a genetic glitch could potentially cause doctors to misdiagnose a small fraction of them, University of Florida researchers say. Citing concerns about the accuracy of preimplantation genetic diagnosis, the method many practitioners use to pick the healthiest embryos during IVF, UF researchers set out to study the procedure... click link for more info.


    The Genome Browser now displays genetic spans
    In an effort to unite the genetic and physical maps, the Genome Browser can now display interpolated genetic intervals (under the "Genetic limits" option). This currently only includes loci that have two-factor mapping data. It works by taking the map positions of all genetic loci - cloned or not - and interpolating them onto the physical map. The range is established using the confidence interval. A secondary consequence of this is that it is now possible to search the Genome Browser for genetic loci like mua-4.

    DNA Hack is website for Amateur Genetic Engineering. The site has tons of resources, supplies, how-tos and this interesting snippet from Michael Schrage in the June 2003 Technology Review: "Maybe bathtub biotech will be the next to capture the mindshare of the techie tinkerers. Maybe bioinformatics and the diffusion of genetic engineering technologies will inspire a new generation of bio-hackers. Certainly the technologies are there for those inclinded to genetically edit their plants or pets. Maybe a mouse or E. coli genome becomes the next operating system for hobbyists to profitably twiddle. Perhaps this decade will bring a Linus Torvalds or Bill Gates of bio-hackerdom -- a hobbyist-turned-entrepreneur who can simultaneously innovate and market his or her DNA-driven ideas Via Make


    Interpolated genetic map position of polymorphisms
    All polymorphisms now have an interpolated genetic map position. These positions are calculated by interpolating over 15,000 polymorphisms into a genetic map containing over 1700 markers. This data is most directly evident on the Markers search page. In general, this should help to stabilize the position of polymorphisms on the genetic map.

  • Easy Tips for Healthy Pets

    Easy Tips for Healthy Pets
    (c) 2005 Dr GW Graham

    Do you want a long and healthy life for your pets?

    There are things in our pets' environments that can rob them of precious health and long life. I'm
    not talking about cars accidents and mean kids in the neighborhood. I'm talking about things inside the home. Things like:

    1) Food
    Food is meant to be good tasting and good for you.
    The same applies to our pets. Unfortunately, both
    people food and pet food are full of stuff. And
    most of this stuff isn't found growing naturally.

    Manufacturers have ...

  • Natural Ways to Treat Stretch Marks

    Pregnancy is a wonderful time in a woman’s life. One aspect of child-bearing, however, may not be so welcomed. For 75-90% of pregnant women, stretch marks, or striae gravidum, can appear in the later half of pregnancy. Stretch marks do not pose any health risk to either the mother or child, but can cause anxiety over their appearance for those who develop them. Stretch marks first appear as raised striations which vary in colour from pink, purple or brown, depending on the mother’s normal skin colour. Striations develop where fat is stored in the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, hips, but ...
