...retreat, Ananda, are hoping to bring that same blissful spirit of rejuvenation to the country's high-tech hub. But the Ista is first and foremost a business hotel, so expect wi-fi Internet access in common areas, broadband in rooms and a business center open around the clock. Guest rooms are minimalist, with blond wood walls and understated furnishings. The healing powers of the rooms with a view of Ulsoor Lake are worth the upgrade. And the private gardens in the executive suites are ideal for yoga sessions between business meetings...
...fact, Yang's findings fly in the face of conventional wisdom in the cloning field, which held that cloning, which involves turning back the clock on adult cells, worked better with younger, more "embryo"-like cells. The less that the cloning process has to undo, the theory goes, the more successful the technique will be. In fact, there was good evidence to support this theory: In previous studies embryonic stem cells, which can generate all of the body's cell types, produced clones ten times more efficiently than adult stem cells, which can develop into only a restricted number...
...somewhat disquieting assertion about the origin of humanity. Along with several colleagues, David Reich of the Broad Institute in Cambridge, Mass., compared DNA from chimpanzees and humans with genetic material from gorillas, orangutans and macaques. Scientists have long used the average difference between genomes as a sort of evolutionary clock because more closely related species have had less time to evolve in different directions. Reich's team measured how the evolutionary clock varied across chromosomes in the different species. To their surprise, they deduced that chimps and humans split from a common ancestor no more than 6.3 million years...
...that depends in part on the accuracy of fossil dating and the reliability of using genetic variation as a clock. Both methods currently carry big margins of error. But the more primate genomes that geneticists can lay side by side, the more questions they will be able to answer. "We have rough sequences for humans, orangutans, chimps, macaques," says Eric Lander, director of the Broad Institute and a leader of the research team that decoded the chimpanzee genome. "But we don't have the entire gorilla genome yet. Lemurs are coming along, and so are gibbons...
...goal only served to light a fire under Duke. Stopford pounded the ball into the cage again, and a fellow Blue Devil followed her lead, scoring the fourth and final Duke goal in the half. The Blue Devils tried to push a fifth shot over the line with the clock racing toward halftime. Senior defensive back Jennifer DeAngelis first denied Duke’s ambitions with a diving save across the goal line to clear the ball. Knoche did her part in the cage, laying out to reject a breakaway shot with only seconds left and tallying six saves...
