Scientists at Harvard and MIT’s Broad Institute have mapped the genes of man’s best friend, the dog, in the hopes of uncovering insights into diseases that affect both humans and canines. The results, published in the December 8 issue of the science journal Nature, include the first comparative analysis of three mammalian genomes—human, mouse, and dog. Tarjei S. Mikkelsen, a graduate student at the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology (HST) and one of the leaders of the research project, said that researchers were surprised that the sequences that...
...shoppers to slow down and buy.” DR. STILGOE’S PRESCRIPTIONProfessor Stilgoe is alarmed by what he perceives as diminishing environmental awareness among Harvard students. He states: “If you want to knock a Harvard student down to size, show them an outline map of the United States and ask him or her to fill in the state names and the five major rivers. They will not be able to do it.”The problem is not isolated to Harvard. Professor Stilgoe says that few colleges and high schools treat geography with...
Research at the institute uses genetic data from the recently completed human genome project to better understand the underlying chemistry of disease. One project team is currently attempting to build an inhibitor for every human gene, and researchers just completed a catalog of human genetic variation called the Haplotype Map...

...When Italian-born designer Stefano Pilati stepped into his boss Tom Ford's shoes at the venerable French house of Yves Saint Laurent, the fashion pack wasn't sure what to expect. Three seasons later, Pilati has put the iconic brand back on the style map with cutting-edge ideas and a slew of hot accessories, including this season's must-have purple suede or leopard-print platform shoes. Next up in the Pilati look book: matador style, as in ruffled collars, high-waisted pants and a blood red?based color palette...
