There is a surprising amount of controversy about the contents of the human genome: junk DNA, pervasive RNA transcription, the role of long noncoding RNAs, and whether 20,000 protein-coding genes suffice to account for the complexity of our biology.
While DNA is the information archive, the proteins do the work of the cell and constitute most of the cellular machinery.
Phylogenetic and ontogenetic evolution combine to maximize the potential for the immune system to detect and eliminate pathogens at risk for initiating potentially damaging immune reactions including self-reactivity and autoimmune disease.
Technology innovation is changing the world in a wide variety of ways—smart homes, smart cars, smart health, smart education, smart cities, and so much more. Computing is a field unique in its societal impact, as computational advances impact everything from scientific discovery to energy, war, and security.
There are more than enough resources—money, networks, time, creativity, life experiences—to be mobilized in support of all of the important work to be done in the world. We simply block them through various obstacles, like our relationship with money, power dynamics, and fear that the problems are too big. In this presentation, we’ll identify and unpack the various obstacles and learn how to remove them to get resources moving quickly, efficiently, and, most importantly, joyfully to your causes.
Most DNA and RNA regulatory proteins consist of two parts. One part enables direct recognition of DNA or RNA, is well folded, and is represented by canonical domains including zinc fingers, homeoboxes, leucine zippers, RNA recognition motifs, KH domains, and pumilio domains.
Alcohol is an “addictive” drug, but its use is condoned by government, and it is used by many individuals who enjoy social drinking and never become dependent on it.
Most of us toiling away in the health industry feel enormously driven to improve the health of society…and yet, with all the best intentions, there remains a gaping yaw between the health we seek for humans and the health reality we experience. Often that goes not just for those we seek to impact, but for ourselves as well. Why?
True societies are very rare in biology, but have evolved repeatedly in a group of insects that include the ants, bees, and wasps, with the honey bee widely considered a paragon of sociality.
