...pioneering molecular endocrinologist at HMS, he embraced the early use of emerging DNA technology to make important discoveries regarding the structure, function, and regulation of hormone genes,” Flier wrote in the e-mail...
...have naturally been kept separate.) The Army Corps of Engineers put an electric barrier in the canal to prevent the carp from infiltrating Lake Michigan, but it may not have been enough - although no live fish have been found yet, last month a team of scientists discovered Asian carp DNA in Lake Michigan. "That's enough to show that they're likely making their way into the lakes," says Lindsay Chadderton, director of TNC's Great Lakes Aquatic Invasive Species program...
Shedding Our DNA Chains Kudos on your cover story on epigenetics [Jan. 18]. As the director of mind-body medicine for a cancer center that offers seminars on how patients can benefit from this emerging science, I can attest that most have never heard of epigenetics. Yet everything in our environment - the way we think and feel, our exposure to stress - affects the way our DNA is expressed. Once we understand this premise, we can incorporate strategies to effect epigenetic changes - including neurogenesis, the growth of new nerve tissue in the brain. Brenda Stockdale Atlanta...
...Supreme Court rejected Michigan's request to temporarily shut down three locks to stop mammoth Asian carp from invading the Great Lakes. But the battle is far from over. As news broke that scientists had detected DNA from the fish in Lake Michigan, the White House--which also opposed the shutdown--agreed to convene an Asian-carp summit for worried Great Lakes governors. U.S. Representative Dave Camp of Michigan, meanwhile, introduced a bill to halt the potential spread of the aggressive fish and develop a strategy to close the waterways...
...results of the research done by Henry Louis “Skip” Gates, Jr. for his new four-part television series for PBS, “Faces of America.” The series traces the family trees of 12 famous Americans, using both historical documentation and DNA analysis, and is challenging Americans to reexamine their history in a uniquely personal...
