Bioethics. Bioethics established itself in the late 1960s as a field concerned with the ethical and philosophical implications of certain biological and medical procedures, technologies, and treatments.
Early issues included end-of-life decision-making, organ donation, and human experimentation. Human biotechnology became a concern when the first bioethics institutes were established in the early 1970s. This attention skyrocketed in 1990 when the U.S. Human Genome Project earmarked 3% to 5% of its $3 billion federal budget to the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications (ELSI) research program, making its activities the world's largest bioethics program. Bioethics initially represented diverse ethical philosophies. Submit News Releases: Three Steps - PRWeb. Science news and science jobs from New Scientist - New Scientist.

Learn.Genetics™ Brain Basics. Research. Researchers at CSHL are devoted to understanding the fundamental biology of human cancer and the development of new diagnostics and therapeutics for specific cancer types.
Topics of interest include cancer genetics, tumor biology, mouse models for human cancer, chromosome dynamics, epigenetics, gene expression, DNA replication and cell signaling. CSHL neuroscientists focus on understanding how neural activity and neural circuitry underlie behavior as well as how disruptions in these circuits lead to dysfunction and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, autism, schizophrenia and depression.
Plant Biologists at CSHL focus on plant development and gene expression, using Arabidopsis, maize and tomato as model systems. In addition to leading to a better understanding of these basic processes, this research also works to improve agricultural yield and biofuel production. Visible Proofs: Forensic Views of the Body: Home Page. Main Exhibits. This site brings together many links on bacteria, bacteriology, and related topics available on the web.
It also provides crystal-clear information about many aspects of bacteria. If you're unfamiliar with the subject, here's a start: Bacteria are living things that are neither plants nor animals, but belong to a group all by themselves. They are very small-individually not more than one single cellhowever there are normally millions of them together, for they can multiply really fast.
We provide many links to pictures, video's, and explanatory text. Choose from the three main menues at the top the Main exhibits, to find general information on bacteria, the Bacterial species files, to find lists of links about specific bacteria, or the Special feature files, for some fun reading. New York Genome Center. New York Genome Center. Scientists Work To Unravel Mystery Behind Woman Who Doesn’t Grow.
Twenty year old Brooke Greenberg hasn’t grown since age five.
For the last 15 years mystified doctors have been unable to explain the cause for Brooke’s disorder that has kept her aging in check. At age twenty, she maintains the physical and mental appearance of a toddler. Eric Shadt wants to solve this most bizarre of medical mysteries. Director of the Icahn Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, Shadt is leading research to uncover the genetic cause for Brooke’s condition. Because hormones control many of the maturation processes, one of the first things the research team looked at was to see if Brooke’s own hormone levels might be abnormal. The researchers are now are painstakingly analyzing Brooke’s entire genome in search of unique mutations. To find the mutation Shadt and his team are using the latest genome sequencing and analysis tools.
Already the research team has found some unique mutations. BIOLOGY. Science. MicrobeLibrary: premier visual resources and protocols used in teaching microbiological and biological sciences. David J.

Training. Untitled. American Society for Microbiology. Become a Country Ambassador. De Novo Reconstruction of Consensus Master Genomes of Plant RNA and DNA Viruses from siRNAs. Virus-infected plants accumulate abundant, 21–24 nucleotide viral siRNAs which are generated by the evolutionary conserved RNA interference (RNAi) machinery that regulates gene expression and defends against invasive nucleic acids. Here we show that, similar to RNA viruses, the entire genome sequences of DNA viruses are densely covered with siRNAs in both sense and antisense orientations. This implies pervasive transcription of both coding and non-coding viral DNA in the nucleus, which generates double-stranded RNA precursors of viral siRNAs. New Page. Lecture 4.
