...this particular strain would be related to those previously gathered. Yi suggested they send their sequences to his lab in Hong Kong, where his technicians and assistants were standing by?they worked almost as hard as Yi?and would use their computer modeling programs to analyze the amino-acid sequences to reconstruct the evolutionary origins of this year's virus. That way, they would be able to compare the two and determine, more precisely, the real risk level. If the two phylogenetic trees were similar, Yi explained and Zhong concurred, it would confirm that the disease was again afoot...
...data that was returned just an hour later revealed that the two viruses were more than similar. They were almost identical. The 14 amino-acid sequences concurred, which meant that these two viruses not only belonged to the same phylogenetic tree, they were both on the same branch, practically the same leaf. Science doesn't produce many moments like this: good luck coinciding with great research had proved that the same virus that was in those wild animal markets had somehow infected a human being. The data was so compelling that the committee resolved that afternoon to inform the governor...
...tentatively suggested that perhaps antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid in coffee—one of the compounds that contributes to coffee’s flavor—may also help suppress the onset of type 2 diabetes...
Power praised the ACID team for their efforts to involve the neighborhood, which ranged from conducting a survey to gauge the neighborhood’s priorities to holding several informal gatherings last month for residents to discuss a draft of the agreement...
Bloomstein said at the meeting that the memo represents a draft that will be fleshed out more in the future. He said the ACID negotiators had rejected three previous drafts that he called “unacceptable...
