...tiny differences, sprinkled throughout the genome, have made all the difference. Agriculture, language, art, music, technology and philosophy--all the achievements that make us profoundly different from chimpanzees and make a chimp in a business suit seem so deeply ridiculous--are somehow encoded within minute fractions of our genetic code. Nobody yet knows precisely where they are or how they work, but somewhere in the nuclei of our cells are handfuls of amino acids, arranged in a specific order, that endow us with the brainpower to outthink and outdo our closest relatives on the tree of life. They give...
...example of how gene duplication may have helped propel us away from our apelike origins appeared in Science last month. A research team led by James Sikela of the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center, in Aurora, Colo., looked at a gene that is believed to code for a piece of protein, called DUF1220, found in areas of the brain associated with higher cognitive function. The gene comes in multiple copies in a wide range of primates--but, the scientists found, humans carry the most copies. African great apes have substantially fewer copies, and the number found...
...Shiftan, Corker, and a few investors are funding this part of the service. Once the service is available on a widespread scale, participating employers must pay a monthly fee so their employees can use GOOSE as a perk. Shiftan, who concentrated in Computer Science at Harvard, wrote the code for GOOSE and created the company’s website, www.readysetgoose.com.“I haven’t slept much since April,” Shifton said.Corker, too, said he has not had much free time as he also oversees the renovation of Loker Commons and the construction...
