...case of genes, of course, the alphabet contains just four letters, or bases: A, T, C and G (for adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine). "A gene has millions of bases," says Dr. Andrew Greenberg, director of the Obesity and Metabolism Laboratory at Tufts University. "We're trying to find what's called a single-nucleotide polymorphism, which is a single change in the DNA, a single base." Sometimes a single-nucleotide polymorphism (or SNP, pronounced snip) leads to the production of a slightly different version of a protein or enzyme. Sometimes that kind of change causes a shift...
...Greenberg's research is focused on a protein called perilipin, which coats the surface of stored fat in fat cells. "I know perilipin helps regulate the breakdown of fat," he explains. But Greenberg is trying to find out whether there are normal variations in the gene that codes for perilipin that affect a person's risk of becoming obese or developing diabetes. In a study conducted with Ordovas of 1,600 people in Valencia, Spain, Greenberg determined that some of the mutations do seem to correspond to a thinner physique and reduced glucose and triglyceride levels. But other variations...
...Julia Roberts, making her Broadway debut in Three Days of Rain, but the poor girl has had enough grief from the critics - not to mention a Tony snub. She's too stiff, and her Southern accent isn't even very good, but the real shame is how tinny Richard Greenberg's once-intriguing play now seems...
...Theater. Online students take the same exams, write the same papers, and are graded on the same curve as “real” Harvard undergraduates. And, according to some faculty, many of these Distance Program participants are more dedicated than the average student.FOR LOVE OF LEARNINGBrian M. Greenberg ’04, the Distance Program TF for CSCI E-2 (also known as Quantitative Reasoning 48), says that HES students can actually be “more fun” to work with than undergraduates. He says that College students often “take the learning process...
...Greenberg, a Studies of Women, Gender, and Sexuality concentrator, said that although facial symmetry does imply consistency in genes and better genes for the future, hand symmetry is not necessarily a reliable marker...
