Data used in the study was obtained from The International HapMap project, a collaborative project of scientists worldwide to develop a complete haplotype map of the human genome...
Writer Julie Powell's debut book Julie & Julia endeared her to aspiring cooks everywhere. The project started as a blog - chronicling the year she spent cooking all 524 recipes from Julia Child's classic Mastering the Art of French Cooking - and grew into a hit movie starring Amy Adams and Meryl Streep. By the summer of 2008, Powell was firmly ensconced in a new career as a successful writer and celebrity foodie. But Powell's offscreen life didn't follow the script. With her marriage falling apart, she took a sabbatical from her New York City home to learn...
...started learning butchery at a difficult point in your marriage. I am the kind of person who, in a period of crisis, tends to make my life crazier than it was already. The Julie & Julia project was all about that - a way for me to bring some structure to my life after I'd freaked out about turning 30. When I come to the point that is depicted in Cleaving, this difficult period in my marriage, I needed something to take my focus physically, mentally. Learning this art of butchery and spending hours at the shop was what I needed...
...kids starve and others overeat. (You also wouldn't want to wait 60 years for the results.) By coincidence, Pembrey had access to another incredible trove of genetic information. He had long been on the board of the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), a unique research project based at the University of Bristol, in England. Founded by Pembrey's friend Jean Golding, an epidemiologist at the university, ALSPAC has followed thousands of young people and their parents since before the kids were born, in 1991 and 1992. For the study, Golding and her staff recruited...
Remember the Human Genome Project? Completed in March 2000, the project found that the human genome contains something like 25,000 genes; it took $3 billion to map them all. The human epigenome contains an as yet unknowable number of patterns of epigenetic marks, a number so big that Ecker won't even speculate on it. The number is certainly in the millions. A full epigenome map will require major advances in computing power. When completed, the Human Epigenome Project (already under way in Europe) will make the Human Genome Project look like homework that 15th century kids did with...
