Maze's research focused on a particular protein called G9a that is associated with cocaine-related changes in the nucleus accumbens, a brain region essential for the experience of desire, pleasure and drive. The role of the protein appears to be to shut down genes that shouldn't be on. One-time use of cocaine increases levels of G9a. But repeated use works the other way, suppressing the protein and reducing its overall control of gene activation. Without enough G9a, those overactive genes cause brain cells to generate more dendritic spines, which are the parts of cells that make connections...
...Thursday in the journal Science Express, the paper describes a new algorithm that can identify mutations with a much higher resolution. The method, called "Composite of Multiple Signals", assigns a score to every mutation in a region and then ranks the probability of each mutation influencing the selection of particular traits...
When I am old and thoroughly demented, living in a nursing home, I feel certain I will grab the arm of anyone who passes to tell them about the time I took Michael Cera's virginity.

Even in respect [to] that kind of brand person, there is going to be a coupon for that particular brand at some time.
