Promethean Hispanic Fire
In the Greek tale of creation, a Titan (Greek god) by the name of Epimetheus is given the task of creating living creatures. He screws the job up by giving all the good DNA and survival mechanisms to the animals. When it came time to creating man he had nothing left but soft skin and weak limbs. Desperate, he calls upon his brother Prometheus (which means forethought) to help him out. Prometheus decides to give humans the ability to walk upright and be able to see far away into the distance (like gods). Prometheus then flies to heaven, steals fire from the sun and gives it to mankind. ...

How To Invite Positive Change In Your Life
Gnothi seauton,, said Socrates. “Know thyself.” These words remain as true today as in the days when the portly philosopher in his rumpled tunic sauntered through the dusty agora of ancient Athens and pondered aloud about the riddles of the human experience. “What is man?” he asked. “What can he become?” This is a fascinating question. Once we set out to know ourselves, we also pave the way to become more authentic and powerful in our lives. While we may appear predisposed, due to genetics or environmental factors, to certain character traits, we are, as far as I 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.
JILA Study Of RNA Dynamics May Help In Drug Design
Biophysicists have developed a method for studying, in real time, a nanoscale "docking and undocking" interaction between small pieces of ribonucleic acid (RNA), a technique that may be broadly useful in studying structural changes in RNA that affect its function. The research at JILA, a joint institute of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and University of Colorado at Boulder, may have applications in the design of effective new drugs based on small RNA strands.
RNA? Whats that?
If you've read any of Marty's emails on various IDS mailing lists lately, you've may have noticed him discussing RNA. Many may ask, so whats this RNA thing? Surely not ribonucleic acid you say. Marty and his gang at Sourcefire have been working on a new product, Real-time Network Awareness ™ (RNA). A whitepaper discussing the technology behind the name is available. Marty will be giving a webinar discussing RNA. The webinar is free, but requires registration
Penn study finds a new role for RNA in human immune response
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have published the first study to test the role of RNA chemical modifications on immunity. They have demonstrated that RNA from bacteria stimulates immune cells to orchestrate destruction of invading pathogens. The authors concluded that the potential of RNA to activate immunity seems to be inversely correlated with the extent of its chemical modification.

The future of the Human Species - Part 3: How do we engineer an Earth-like environment?
The process of making an unearthly world more earth-like for the purpose of supporting human life is called teraforming - Steven Wintergerst.
Teraforming Mars is the only way we, humans can live and reproduce thus starting all over again on the red planet. As stated above, teraforming transforms any world unlike Earth into an inhabitable place for humans. Of course we cannot convert another planet, Mars for example, 100% into Earth. However Mars must resemble Earth in the following aspects:
1.Thicken the small existing atmosphere and make it comprise the important gases required for ...

Lasers - A Modern Cosmetic Treatment For Acne Blemishes
The best way to protect your skin from acne-related scarring is to take preventative measures early on. But it is often true that people who suffer from acne are unable to prevent future scarring sufficiently. In fact, it is estimated that more than 10 million Americans end up with scarring caused by acne. There are many degrees of acne-related scarring. In some cases, the scarring is very minimal and hard to notice. But in other cases, scarring is severe and can cause long-term emotional damage. Many teenagers who have severe scarring caused by acne suffer from depression and a loss ...
