DNA Profiling: Its Uses in Court
Stronger evidence in courtrooms—it’s what every attorney, defendant, and plaintiff dreams of. Beginning in the last 1980s, this is exactly what began to surface through DNA profiling.
In addition to the one-of-a-kind pattern engraved on our fingers, each of us possesses a unique identifier that is built within our bodies. DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic blueprint that determines our biological characteristics. DNA is a long molecule located in almost every cell in the human body. When we are conceived, we inherit half of our DNA from our mother and half from our fat ...

Womens Plus Size Expansion
There is some fantastic news that all you plus size women should know. Evidence is showing that more and more companies, clothing stores and merchandisers are opening their eyes, to accommodate larger sizes.
Within the past, the Gap is one of the industry leaders and has extended their sizes, currently only available online at www.gap.com, to include XXL and sizes up to 20. Although this only covers a few sizes in the plus size range, it is a start and it is coming from a clothing store everyone is familiar with.
Now it is becoming a reality that women with plus size needs can ...

Site-specific biotinylation of RNA molecules by transcription using unnatural base pairs.
Publication Date: 2005 PMID: 16113238Authors: Moriyama, K. - Kimoto, M. - Mitsui, T. - Yokoyama, S. - Hirao, I.Journal: Nucleic Acids ResDirect site-specific biotinylation of RNA molecules was achieved by specific transcription mediated by unnatural base pairs. Unnatural base pairs between 2-amino-6-(2-thienyl)purine (denoted by s) and 2-oxo(1H)pyridine (denoted by y), or 2-amino-6-(2-thiazolyl)purine (denoted as v) and y specifically function in T7 transcription. Using these unnatural base pairs, the substrate of biotinylated-y (Bio-yTP) was selectively incorporated into RNA, opposite s or v in the DNA templates, by T7 RNA polymerase. This method was applied to the immobilization of an RNA aptamer on sensor chips, and the aptamer accurately recognized its target protein. This direct site-specific biotinylation will provide a tool for RNA-based biotechnologies.

Longevity - Can Fat Cells Dictate How Long a Human Survives?
According to the September Issue of Popular Mechanics, a report written by Jim Wilson explains how human beings may some day have the capability to survive to be 180 (one hundred eighty) years old!
Based on research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(http://web.mit.edu/biology/www/facultyareas/facresearch/guarente.shtml) and Professor Leonard P. Guarante; genetic makeup that rules our individual "time-clocks" can be virtually erased.
* How is this possible?
Every person has DNA fragments dubbed telomeres Our telomeres are specifically designed to extend our live ...

New Gene Tool May Unlock Root Causes of Disease
Copyright 2005 Daily News Central
Genetic researchers have made substantial advances in understanding the root causes of common diseases and the history of human evolution, according to a series of reports published in scientific journals this week.
Chief among these accomplishments is the work of an international consortium of more than 200 scientists from Canada, China, Japan, Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the United States published in the October 27 issue of the journal Nature.
The team studied DNA samples from four different parts of the world and concluded that gen ...

Celtic Wedding Rituals -- "Tying the knot"
One of the most elegant rituals you can choose for a wedding is the traditional Celtic hand fasting. After the vows, the bride and groom's wrists are bound together with five colored ribbons, each symbolizing an aspect of marriage and their shared commitment. It is a long standing Celtic tradition that is still quite popular, and happens to be the origin of the expression "tying the knot" which has grown to mean getting married. Though this tradition is a lovely and meaningful tradition, many other Celtic wedding traditions have not aged as gracefully. All marriages start with a propo ...
