ENCODE 12 Sept 2013 - New UDR ENCODE Download Method Available The UCSC Genome Browser is pleased to offer a new download protocol to use when downloading large sets of files from our download servers: UDR (UDT Enabled Rsync). UDR utilizes rsync as the transport mechanism, but sends the data over the UDT protocol, which enables huge amounts of data to be downloaded more efficiently over long distances. 25 July 2013 - BLUEPRINT Epigenome Data Hub and Quick Reference PDF Now Available We are pleased to announce the addition of the BLUEPRINT Epigenomics Data Hub on the UCSC Genome Browser through our Public Hubs function. Also the ENCODE Quick Reference Card is now available in PDF courtesy of OpenHelix on the ENCODE Education and Outreach page. 28 May 2013 - ENCODE portal changes: New Link to NHGRI Tutorials, New External Software Tools Page, Updates to Publications including New 2013 Consortium Papers Section The ENCODE portal was updated to include informative new and expanded pages.

Nedeljnik Vreme Genetic Centre news @ nature.com - Surprise organ discovered in mice - Mice are shown to have two thymus organs, not just one Invocation of method 'getExternalLinks' in class com.nature.components.service.article.ArticlingArticle threw exception com.nature.components.service.article.InvalidXmlException: Empty element: name at /news/includes/external_links.fhtml[line 1, column 32] Inside the Mind of Futurist Ray Kurzweil: When Robots Rule the World (and Humans are Immortal) South By Southwest Interactive is a bubble of optimism; a haven of ingenuity that seems liberated from all the constraints, or cynicism, of daily life. There are conceptual talks here that forgo all notions of funding or commerce, to instead bask in the glory of the Next Big Idea. There are demonstrations where you can sense that you’re peering around the corner, at how people will be interacting differently with their computers – and their worlds – two or three years from now. And then occasionally there are presentations which send you spiraling through a time warp, glimpsing a vision of the future society that this conference seems to be moving towards each and every year, in increments that can be measured with every new app or software update. (MORE: Kurzweil Tells TIME — Humans Will One Day Be Immortal) The session opened with a monologue from Kurzweil, a rapid-fire summary of his widely-known beliefs in exponential growth, as far as technology and computing power is concerned.

Maladies héréditaires dominantes | CORAMH Maladies héréditaires \ Maladies héréditaires dominantes Maladies héréditaires dominantes Il existe certaines maladies héréditaires qu’on dit dominantes. Ces maladies sont causées par des gènes défectueux dominants. Dans le cas de ces maladies, il suffit qu’une seule copie du gène défectueux soit présente pour que la personne soit atteinte. Lorsqu’un des deux parents est atteint de la maladie, le risque de transmettre la maladie à ses enfants est de un sur deux à chaque grossesse. L’âge d’apparition des premiers symptômes des maladies dominantes varie beaucoup d’une personne à l’autre. On connaît aujourd’hui plusieurs maladies héréditaires dominantes.

Home page Body Mind And Modem: Correct Posture I remember thinking as a first grader that sitting up straight was somehow an important thing for me to be doing. At the time, it was primarily a matter of what I thought the teacher expected of us kids. But now, after practicing Aikido Kokikai for a number of years, I've realized that correct posture is far more important than it seemed back in grade school, when I sat in my little wooden chair with my back straight and my chest out. (Until, after a few minutes, I got sick of it and went back to slumping.) We've all heard that the mind leads the body. This is an important realization; that by changing what you believe, you can actually change what your body is capable of doing. But actually, it goes a lot further than that. Now isn't that cool? We said elsewhere in this site that when you are keeping one-point, your body is more stable. Stand up, feet side by side, weight on your heels, shoulders kind of slumped. Now stand again with your feet side by side. Okay.

Life in the robotic lab: Introduction This blog is about my life and the role that robotics has in it. I don't know if such story is interesting for someone out there, and I guess that the english will be very poor. But whatever you read in these pages is just the truth. My name is Davide Faconti, and I am 29 years old. I recently realized that maybe it worth to tell someone my story. I spent the last years working in robotics and I guess that I will do this the rest of my life. This blogs run in parallel two stories. The first of them starts today (1st of May 2008) and it is a summary of what happen in the "REEM lab". The second story started in 2001 and tells you how I become the leader of one of the most advanced humanoid robots projects out there. I hope you will have some fun. Bye

Des gènes perturbés par les nuits trop courtes Photo : iStockphoto Des centaines de gènes sont perturbés par le manque de sommeil, montre une étude britannique. Ces gènes sont liés à l'inflammation, au système immunitaire et à la réponse de l'organisme au stress. Le saviez-vous? Une nuit normale de sommeil est de sept à huit heures pour un adulte. La chercheuse Carla Möller-Levet et ses collègues de l'Université de Surrey ont recruté 26 personnes auxquelles ils ont fait subir deux régimes de sommeil : Une semaine durant laquelle les volontaires dormaient moins de six heures par nuit;Une semaine durant laquelle les participants dormaient neuf heures par nuit. Des échantillons de sang ont été prélevés sur chacun des participants après chacune des semaines. Les résultats L'analyse de l'acide ribonucléique (ARN) montre des effets du manque de sommeil sur le fonctionnement de 711 gènes. De plus, le nombre de gènes dont l'activité est normalement au maximum pendant toute la journée passe de 1855 à 1481 sous l'effet d'un manque de sommeil.
