US Scientists Try First Gene Editing In The Body

Authored by Associated Press

Scientists for the first time have tried editing a gene inside the body in a bold attempt to permanently change a person’s DNA to try to cure a disease.

The experiment was done Monday in California on 44-year-old Brian Madeux. Through an IV, he received billions of copies of a corrective gene and a genetic tool to cut his DNA in a precise spot.

Hey! Just wondering, how did a solar eclipse prove the theory of relativity?

According to the theory of relativity space is not static. The movements of objects can change the structure of space.

In Einstein’s view, space is combined with another dimension - time - which creates universewide “fabric” called space-time. Object travel through this fabric, which can be warped, bent and twisted by the masses and motions of objects within space-time.

One prediction of general relativity was that light should not travel in a perfectly straight line. When traveling through space-time and approaching the gravitational field of a mass object, the light must bend-but not too much.

Then the English astronomer Sir Frank Watson Dyson proposed that the total solar eclipse of 1919 could prove, because the Sun would cross the bright Hyades star cluster. Star light would have to cross the gravitational field of the sun on the way to Earth, but would be visible due to the darkness of the eclipse. This would allow precise measurements of the positions displaced by the gravity of the stars in the sky.

Because of this, teams of researchers strategically positioned themselves in two locations that would initially provide the best conditions for observing the eclipse. One group stayed in Ilha do Príncipe, in São Tomé and Príncipe, and other researchers settled in Sobral, Ceará (Brazil).

Eddington, who led the experiment, first measured the “true” positions of the stars during January and February of 1919. In May, he went to remote Prince Island (in the Gulf of Guinea, on the west coast of Africa) to measure Positions of the stars during the eclipse, seen through the gravitational lens of the sun.

The total eclipse lasted about 6 minutes and 51 seconds, during those few minutes the astronomers captured several photos of the total eclipse. When Eddington returned to England, his data from Príncipe confirmed Einstein’s predictions.Eddington announced his discoveries on November 6, 1919.

Bioinformatics/ Genomics

Genomics:

What is Genomics?

In 1970s Scientist Found the DNA Series of Simple Living Life. It is Branch Of Science, Based on Anatomy, Drawing, Function, Progress, and Modification of Genome. Genomics is Complete Study of the Genomes of Creatures. A Genome is Entire Set of Creatures DNA, Containing All of Its Genes. Its Key Task is Find The Complete Series of DNA or Structure of the Molecules that Build the DNA and the Chemical Chain Between The DNA Molecules. DNA Sequencing Knowledge is Not Only Very essential For The Biological Research But Equally Important in Medical, Medicine, Biotechnology & In Forensic Research etc.

Following are the Key Genomic Research Areas:

1. Meta-Genomics: MetaGenomics is Study of Genetic Substance Which is Gain or Cultivated From Environmental Pattern/Sample. It is Also Known as Ecogenomics, Community Genomics, and Environmental Genomics.

2. Human Genomics: As Name Suggested Human Genomics Is Concentrate on Study of Human Genome Sequence. The Human Genomics is the Entire Set of Nucleic Acid Sequences for Humans, It Found in DNA Within the Pair of 23 Chromosomes in Cell Nuclei and Small DNA Molecule Found separately in Mitochondria.

3. Bacteriophage Genomics: It is Also Known As Phage, it is Study of Genomics Which Infect Bacteria. Phages are ubiquitous viruses, found wherever bacteria Occurs. Bacteria Found in Soil or the animal’s intestines.

4. Pharmacogenomics: This is Branch Of Genomics Studies, Learn About the Impact of Genetic Changes on the Drugs Efficiency and Toxicity, and Plays Very Key Role in Optimization of Medicine Therapy.

5. Cyanobacteria genomics: This is Area of genomic Investigation is Focusing on the study of cyanobacteria, a phylum of bacteria which get Strength through photosynthesis.

Bioinformatics:

What is Bioinformatics?

Bioinformatics is the Application of Information Technology, Used to Generate Methods and Software Tool For getting Knowledge of Biological data or Living Things. It is Used For Solving Biological Problems.

Bioinformatics is helpful for Create and Implements Computer Programs That Gives Access to Handle, Use and Manage the Information. it is Also Helpful to Develop New Algorithms and Statical Measures That Is Very Useful to Access Large Data.

1. Functional Gene Annotations / Genome Annotation: Gene Annotation is the Action of recognizing the Place of Genes and Entire Coding Zone in a Genome and Find What Those Genes Actually Do.

There Are Three Main Steps For Genome Annotation:

a. Recognize Section of Genome That does not Code For Proteins.

b. Recognise Elements of the  Genome, A action Called Gene Prediction.

c. Connect Biological Information to These Elements.

2. Next-generation sequencing (NGS): It is Fresh Process for Sequencing Genome at High Speed & Less Cost. Next Generation Sequencing  Also Called Second Generation Sequencing(SGS) or Massively Parallel Sequencing(MPS). NGS Generate a Large Amount of Sequence Data. NGS Plays Key Role in the Big Y Test From Family Tree DNA & Y Prime, Y-Elite & While Genome Test From Full Genomes Corporation. The Mitochondrial DNA full Series test uses next-generation sequencing technology (NGS).

3. Gene / Orf Prediction: An Gene/ Orf Prediction is the Element of Reading Frame That Has Capacity to Translated.

4. Genome alignment and Analysis: In Bioinformatics, Sequence Analysis is the Action of Subject to RNA, & DNA. Methods applied for Sequence Alignment, Searches Opposite Biological Database.

5. Multiple sequence alignment: MSA is Normally the Alignment of Three Or More than three Biological Sequences of Equal Length, Generally Protein, RNA & DNA.

6. BLAST / BLAT Data Analysis: Blat is Pairwise Sequence Alignment Algorithm Was Created By Jim Kent At UCSC in the 2000s to Help the Assembly & Notation of Human Genome.

7. Comparative Genomics: Comparative Genomics is an area of Biological Research in WhichGenomis Characteristics of Distinct Creatures are Compared. The Genomic Characteristics Consist the DNA Sequence, Gene Order, Genes, Regulatory Sequences & Another Genomics Landmark.

MIND HACK

MIND HACK

Whenever an apparent problem arises in your mind : The Solution

1. Stay mindfully present as impersonal awareness with your thoughts and emotions.

2. Step aside and create some non-judgmental, witnessing space (distance) from the perceived problem in order to remain open and objective.

3. Simply observe and dis-identify (without any emotional reaction or bias) with the mental activities currently being played out.  Diffuse your energetic association to what you are perceiving as a ‘problem’. It is enough to become a silent, unmoved observer to the whole thinking process.

4. Respond with Presence from the clear space of neutrality, for a creative solution to emerge.
