But removing these animals is a form of unnatural selection: it will eventually remove wild traits from the bison gene pool, making them docile like cattle...
Researchers at the Harvard-affiliated Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have developed a new method of screening tumors for key cancer-related gene abnormalities. The finding, published in an advanced online edition of the scientific journal Nature Genetics, is a major step towards the development of personalized cancer treatments. Different patterns of gene expression are associated with different types of cancers, but identifying the various mutations that contribute to each kind of cancer is a laborious and costly process. “Millions and millions of dollars are spent just to recognize mutations in a few cancers when ideally, you would...
...elbow one's way into the baby photos. Look, sweetie! Here's me putting you into your Sex Pistols onesie! Here's me making your first mix CD! Once, it was understood that raising kids was about subordinating yourself, recognizing that, as least as far as Darwin and the gene pool were concerned, you were no longer the star.

Gene Robinson, an openly gay bishop, became parishes of his thriving African archdiocese 5,400 miles away. It effectively constitutes a competing Anglican body on U.S. turf. He may make global news when all 38 Anglican primates meet in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on Feb. 14 to continue an anguished homosexuality debate that--unlike in the States, where only a minority are expected to leave the denomination--could split the world body...
...goal is to bring courses to life by relating them to the real world. It is NOT credit for service, but rather taking advantage of the dedication of students to activities such as public service to bring these courses to life,” PBHA Executive Director Gene A. Corbin wrote in an e-mail. Romance Languages and Literatures will offer Italian 60, “Italian and the Community,” in addition to Spanish 60 and Portuguese 60, which were both offered last year. In the three classes students will gain language skills while working with community...
