...1980s, says Mootha, the mitochondrial genome--with only about 16,000 genetic "letters," compared with 3 billion in the nuclear genome--had been sequenced. That let researchers link specific, rare disorders to specific mitochondrial mutations, always passed from mother to child. But by the time the Human Genome Project was completed in 2000, it was clear that mutations in the nucleus could cause problems in the mitochondria as well. "We now estimate," says Mootha, "that while mitochondrial DNA encodes just 13 proteins, another 1,500 or so proteins used by mitochondria are encoded by the nucleus...
...never tell. A word on Kingdom of Heaven: if you get the four-disc set, which is 3 hr. 8 min., you'll see why it's such a good movie. It was a real passion project, and it's the film I'm most proud of. I think it was treated incredibly unfairly. It did a very delicate job of literally profiling the Muslims when it was not a good time to be doing that, and actually Fox really followed through. I've got many letters from Muslim organizations thanking me for making Kingdom of Heaven. And people...
...poorly taught, that do not interest them, and that are overly large and impersonal. There is no reason why the bedrock principle that a more open system is preferable should not be applied to the Core while the Faculty considers, votes on, and fully implements the new system, a project that will likely take years...
...environmentally conscious. To reduce pollution in the short term, he wants to expand investment in public transportation and give tax breaks for fuel-efficient cars and home appliances. He is also committed to clean energy. In fact, he was one of the earliest supporters of the Cape Wind Project, which will build a wind farm off the coast of Nantucket, when it was unpopular and politically risky. Patrick’s commitment to his values—in this case protecting the environment through renewable and clean energy—always comes before politics...
Without any frame of reference for his trip, it runs perilously close to yet another “look, those racist middle Americans are crazy!” Given the imminent success of this film, coastal and European elites might just project the critique of American culture onto an imagined other, failing to realize that they are implicated in the whole endeavor...
