This video summarizes much of evolutionary developmental biology. Well done. https://t.co/5WZfESYXIJ
A Morpholino antisense drug has been approved by the US FDA. http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm521263.htm This drug...
Not bad. For every oxidation/dehydrogenation reaction there is a linked reduction, but I think it's OK to gloss over that. I like your summary.
A microinjection apparatus comes to mind.
Hi Hercules, No argument about the media stripping out the science for the story. Still, you rarely see the human side of a clinical trial in the...

The mRNA can be translated and re-translated until it decays, often producing several-to-many proteins from a single message. If there is a...
As far as I know, each prokaryotic species makes only one kind of ribosome and each eukaryotic species makes only two kinds (one for the cytosol and...
Bacteriology relies on chemistry: inorganic, organic and biochem. You'll need to understand qualitative and quantitative chemical analytical...
Yes. Both kinds of nucleic acids extend by adding nucleotides to the 3'-OH of an existing strand. To use these carbon numbers to designate...
Eating brains can give you a prion disease. Try the keyword "kuru" in a search -- Wikipedia is a good start. Spongiform encephalopathy, anyone?
Thanks!
Here's a recent open-access article from PNAS that discusses animal models requiring viral gene expression for successful pregnancy. Not quite as...
Hi Billy T, I apologize for not responding sooner, but a half-year later I noticed your rapid response :bugeye: Gene Tools is an odd biotech,...
OK, here's my prejudice: get the most broad general eduction you can at undergrad level. Don't career-track too early. Often you have two ways you...
I assume you are entering an undergraduate program next, working for a 4-year degree. Biology or Chemistry degrees would be excellent...

I moused over the edit button, which popped up "Edit/Delete". As I wanted to delete this post (I had duplicated the post during editing), I clicked...
Hi Hercules, Thanks for pointing out I'm with Gene Tools -- I normally set up a signature file that identifies my work, but this board does not...
The way we design therapeutics for many conditions is set up to undergo a radical change. Traditionally, herbs and animal parts were used as sources...
