...genes have the same material but only parts of the material are expressed,” Oberdoerffer said. When different parts of the cell are “turned on,” the cell performs a different function. “Every cell type expresses a distinct set of genes so that way you make one cell a kidney gene, one a brain cell,” Oberdoerffer added. “Every cell and every organ in your body has certain things to do, and if you mess around with that—[like if] your muscle cells...
...project combines research from two traditionally-distinct areas of engineering: genetic (modifying the bacteria to produce charge flow) and chemical (running electricity through water to produce hydrogen...
...Under current law and policy, the CIA has a secret list of approved interrogation techniques distinct from the Army manual. But at the same time, the agency is prohibited by law from using techniques that are "cruel, inhuman or degrading." In recent years, the Bush Administration has interpreted those terms as permitting techniques like "waterboarding", an approach that is widely considered torture, in which detainees experience simulated drowning.

...drying surfactant and works smudge-busting miracles on touch-screens. (Advice: Let the device dry after cleaning, then buff - a pant leg works splendidly - as there's a little leftover residue.)

The Kurds want the city and its hinterlands to be folded into the northern province of Kurdistan. Turkomans (a distinct ethnic group sharing ancestry with modern Turks) and Arabs would prefer it to remain outside Kurdish hegemony, in the separate Tamim province. Each group points out that the city was once ruled by its forebears. All know that outside Kirkuk is one of Iraq's largest oil fields. Also at stake is the larger, constitutional question of whether Iraq should have a powerful...
