Vertebrate genomics: More fishy tales about Hox genes

Zebrafish Hox genes are arranged in at least seven clusters, rather than the four clusters typical of vertebrates. This suggests that an additional genome duplication occurred on the fish lineage and explains why many gene families are typically about half the size in land vertebrates than they are in fish.

‏‎interpersonal function of language in subtitling

‏‎translation as a comunicative process is always said to be associated with various aspects of meaning loss or gain. subtitling as a mode of translating, due to special discoursal and textual conditions imposed upon it, is believed to be an obvious case of this loss or gain. presenting the spoken sound track of a film in writing and synchronizing the perception of this text by the viewers with...

laboratories and centralizing many of the facilities. His own lab expanded considerably to include mathematicians and computer scientists as well as biologists. Dr Goodfellow continued to develop his work on gene mapping by generating somatic hybrid cell lines which contain only fragments of human chromosomes. Along with Tony Monaco, John Todd, Hans Lehrach and others he helped set up the gene ...

Painful ejaculation. Something fishy.

Fishy Cooperation

0001 It is commonly thought that animals can be arranged along a ladder of intelligence—a sort of modern-day Scala Naturae— with humans inevitably at the top, followed by our close relatives, the primates, all the way down to fi sh and other slimy creatures. Over the past decade, this ladder has been challenged by claims of high intelligence and great social complexity in other animals. For exa...
