...never know what actually happened at the Duke party. It bears repeating that lack of DNA evidence does not mean that sex, forced or no, did not occur, and that a prior arrest for assault does not mean one of the accused is automatically capable of sexual assault. And it?s tough to tell whether McFayden?s e-mail was racially motivated, or just repulsively sadistic. But one thing?s certain: Women of color in this country - and, to an extent, women in general - still teeter on that fine line between being seen as exotic objects of desire and, well...
...become any other type of tissue cell, but how they do so is not clear and is essential if treatments are to be developed from research. This process of activating master regulatory genes is facilitated by chromatin, a histone protein structure that contains a cell’s DNA. If there is a methyl group anchored in a certain place on one histone protein, the gene nearby is activated (known as the K4 state). Conversely, if the methyl group attaches itself to another part of the protein, the gene is deactivated (known as the K27 state). The study of mouse...
That isn't likely to happen anytime soon. Like its whaling ally Iceland, Japan gets its meat by exploiting a loophole in the IWC's moratorium that permits members to cull whales for scientific study--a practice cetologists now consider mostly unnecessary because of advances in tracking and dna technology. The hunting itself is done by Japan's only whaling fleet, owned by Kyodo Senpaku Kaisha of Tokyo, a ship-chartering firm. Sales of the meat are used solely to fund Japan's Institute of Cetacean Research (ICR), which conducts the studies. "The IWC convention stipulates that any by-product...
...hauled in by Norway, which simply ignores the moratorium. Next year Japan plans to bag 50 humpbacks, the endangered giants famous for their spectacular breaches and eerie subaqueous songs. Stanford University cetologist Stephen Palumbi says their addition to the scientific catch will confound attempts to monitor poaching through the dna testing of meat, a method that has proved remarkably effective in recent years...
...should be surprised that District Attorney Nifong is proceeding with the case despite the lack of initial DNA evidence. Nifong made his intentions clear on April 11, the day after the initial DNA results went public, at a forum at North Carolina Central University, where the accuser is a student. "Anytime you have a victim who can identify her assailant, then what you have is a case a judge must let go to the jury," he said...
