Acquired traits can be inherited via small RNAs Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) researchers have found the first direct evidence that an acquired trait can be inherited without any DNA involvement. The findings suggest that Lamarck, whose theory of evolution was eclipsed by Darwin's, may not have been entirely wrong. The study is slated to appear in the Dec. 9 issue of Cell. "In our study, roundworms that developed resistance to a virus were able to pass along that immunity to their progeny for many consecutive generations," reported lead author Oded Rechavi, PhD, associate research scientist in biochemistry and molecular biophysics at CUMC. In an early theory of evolution, Jean Baptiste Larmarck (1744-1829) proposed that species evolve when individuals adapt to their environment and transmit those acquired traits to their offspring. However, some evidence suggests that acquired traits can be inherited. Dr. RNAi is triggered by doubled-stranded RNA (dsRNA), which is not found in healthy cells.
Examining the Society of Mind To appear in the journal Computing and Informatics. Push Singh 28 October 2003 push@mit.edu Media Lab Massachusetts Institute of Technology 20 Ames Street Cambridge, MA 02139 United States Abstract This article examines Marvin Minsky's Society of Mind theory of human cognition. The functions performed by the brain are the products of the work of thousands of different, specialized sub-systems, the intricate product of hundreds of millions of years of biological evolution. What is the human mind and how does it work? In seeking answers to these questions, Minsky does not search for a 'basic principle' from which all cognitive phenomena somehow emerge, for example, some universal method of inference, all-purpose representation, or unifying mathematical theory. Minsky introduces the term agent to refer to the simplest individuals that populate such societies of mind. This article examines the Society of Mind theory. The following essay was written by Scott Fahlman (in 1974 or 1973? K-lines.
The Biological Chip in our Cells by Grazyna Fosar and Franz Bludorf Light is in principle the oldest and most important food of the world, and still in addition - understood as electromagnetic wave - a perfect storage medium. We know today that life in the universe is a process which is always swiming against the river. Physics predicts that everything in nature is going towards a condition of a thermal equilibrium. With every energy consuming process always also warmth is produced, which cannot be completely reconverted into work energy. This is well-known to each power station operator. The universe favours disorder and decay rather than order and structure. In such an environment an organism can temporarily exist only because it constantly supplies new order structures to its body using energy , briefly said: by taking up food regularly. For this the plants found the simplest and most direct way. Light nevertheless plays a crucial role for animal and human life too. Not so with superconductors. This is actual the case.
From gene to function: Genome wide study into new gene functions in the formation of platelets In a study into the genetics of blood cell formation, researchers have identified 68 regions of the genome that affect the size and number of platelets. Platelets are small cells that circulate in the blood and are key to the processes of blood clotting and wound healing. In this genome-wide study, the team used a multidisciplinary approach to successfully identify new genetic variants involved in the formation of platelets and more importantly, defined the function of genes near these variants using a series of biological analyses. Abnormally high or low platelet counts can lead to disease. An increase in the number of platelets, or an increase in their size can lead to an increased risk for thrombotic events, like heart attacks and strokes. In this collaborative study, the team first developed a prioritisation strategy that allowed them to identify and pinpoint the genes underlying the formation of platelets through biological annotations of these genes.
