Traces of Dutch 'Hunger Winter' in genetic material - News 2010 Conditions in the uterus can give rise to life-long changes in genetic material. People in their sixties who were conceived during the Hunger Winter of 1944-45 in the Netherlands have been found to have a different molecular setting for a gene which influences growth. Researchers from the LUMC are the first to demonstrate this effect. They published their findings this week in PNAS Online Early Edition, together with colleagues from Columbia University. Epigenetics During the Hunger Winter (the Dutch famine of 1944-1945) the west of the Netherlands suffered from an extreme lack of food. Vulnerable The researchers compared the degree of methylation of a piece of DNA, the IGF2 gene, of people who were conceived in the Hunger Winter with that of their brothers and sisters.

Epigenetic inheritance of maternal care behavior in rats Yesterday I told you about how the quality of maternal care result in epigenetic changes in glucocorticoid receptor expression in the hippocampus. Glucocorticoid receptor genes aren’t the only part of the genome experiencing epigenetic modifications in response to maternal care behaviors. The result is that female rat mothers give their offspring the same quality of care that they themselves received as pups. It is, however, possible to get high-care mothers to decrease the amount of care that they provide to their offspring by subjecting them to stressful situations during gestation (Smith et al. 2004; Champagne and Meaney 2006). On the other hand, you can also get low-care mothers to increase care under certain conditions. Conclusions
YGYDE Language Names of letters and scientific constants are 2 letters long. Names of variables are 4 letters long compound words. Proper nouns are 6 letters long compound words except for names of people and some geographic names, which are 8 letters long. Names of complex chemicals and proteins are proper nouns made of two words. Precise biological names of species are made of three words. Foreign words follow one of the following Ygyde words: upi, ugi, uki, uwo, uwu, uwi, ufo, uzo, uzu. All other words have odd number of letters. Ygyde is the Linux of conlangs. Andrew Nowicki invented all the tables of the Ygyde language except preposition table. Although Ygyde text can be written with English glyphs, Ygyde glyphs are preferable because the English glyphs are ambiguous: 0 looks like O. l looks like 1 and I. 5 looks like S. rn looks like m. Ygyde's alphabet consists of 32 glyphs: 6 vowels a e y o u i, 15 consonants b p d t g k w f z s j c m n l, full stop, 8 digits, octal point, and space.

Lackadaisy Expressions Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions. Yeah! Just give me a day or two to whip something up..." Um. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.
