Basic Human Anatomy: Table of contents. Learn.Genetics™ The Whole Brain Atlas. Genes: The Instruction Manuals for Life. A gene is a how-to book for making one product—a protein. Proteins perform most life functions, and make up almost all cellular structures. Genes control everything from hair color to blood sugar by telling cells which proteins to make, how much, when, and where. Genes exist in most cells. Inside a cell is a long strand of the chemical DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Inside genes The term gene, first created by Danish botanist Wilhelm Johannsen in 1909, comes from the Greek word for origin, genos. The number of genes in an organism's complete set of DNA, called a genome, varies from species to species.
Each gene has many parts. Each gene helps determine different characteristics of an individual, such as nose shape. Peas in a pod The "Father of Genetics," Gregor Mendel, was an Austrian monk who experimented with plants growing in his monastery. Mendel observed that when he bred plants that had green pea pods with plants that had yellow pea pods, all of the offspring had green pods. More to it. Muscle Atlas. Human Anatomy.

Every summer, on the first weekend in August, thousands of twins converge on Twinsburg, Ohio, a small town southeast of Cleveland named by identical twin brothers nearly two centuries ago.
They come, two by two, for the Twins Days Festival, a three-day marathon of picnics, talent shows, and look-alike contests that has grown into one of the world's largest gatherings of twins. Dave and Don Wolf of Fenton, Michigan, have been coming to the festival for years. Like most twins who attend, they enjoy spending time with each other. In fact, during the past 18 years, the 53-year-old truckers, whose identical beards reach down to their chests, have driven more than three million miles together, hauling everything from diapers to canned soup from places like Seattle, Washington, to Camden, New Jersey.
"Must be a twins thing," Don says. This afternoon at the festival the brothers have stopped by a research tent sponsored by the FBI, the University of Notre Dame, and West Virginia University. The Blood Typing Game. "Junk DNA" Allowed Us to Survive as a Species. Highly infectious viral diseases -including the Plague, yellow fever, measles, smallpox and he Spanish Flu, which killed 50 million people at the end of the First World War, moving from one cell to the next, transforming each new host into a factory that makes even more virus. In this way, one infected cell soon becomes billion -that die when the host dies.
Endogenous retroviruses, however, once they infect the DNA of a species they become part of that species: they reside within each of us, carrying a record that goes back millions of years. Molecular battles of endogenous retroviruses that raged for thousands of generations, have been defeated by evolution. These viral fragments are fossils that reside within each of us, carrying a record that goes back millions of years. That is until Thierry Heidmann who runs the laboratory at the Institut Gustave Roussy, on the southern edge of Paris, brought one to life. Posted by Casey Kazan. Molecular pathology - Human Molecular Genetics - NCBI Bookshelf. Complete Genomics May Be Worth The Gamble. I have been following Complete Genomics (GNOM) for a while now. I've even put it in my list of five favorite stocks. I really like its products; I really like its services, and I really like its CEO, Cliff Reid. By all accounts this is a great little company ready to take off like a rocket.
It all seemed so eminent and inevitable. Then came first quarter results and since then the stock can't seem to find a bottom. Complete Genomics is an early stage biotech company engaged in human DNA sequencing using proprietary machines, process, and analytics. Sequenom (SQNM) and Amarin (AMRN) are two examples of a developmental stage biotechs that missed their quarterly targets but didn't see their stock price take a dive next day.
