While a handful of such genes were previously identified in ants and slime molds, the FLO1 yeast research now represents “the most detailed genetic analysis of green beard genes to date,” Verstrepen said. David C. Queller, a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Rice University, said of the research, “I find it interesting that an organism as well-studied as yeast has these green-beard genes. Perhaps once we look close enough, we might find them to be more...
...four underground tunnels that normally service buses and taxis, vehicles of the First Army were parked bumper to bumper, the front rank draped in beige cloth to conceal their identity.

Only concerted action by such major universities is likely to break the Ph.D. fixation of most colleges, which constantly compare the percentage of Ph.D.s on their faculties. Donald E.
