PLANT SPLICING. "More than 60% of intron-containing genes undergo alternative splicing (AS) in plants. This number will increase when AS in different tissues, developmental stages, and environmental conditions are explored." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1360138512001276 View in LinkedIn

“Alternative splicing of mRNA precursors enables one gene to produce multiple protein isoforms with differing functions. Under normal conditions, this mechanism is tightly regulated in order for the human genome to generate proteomic diversity sufficient for the functional requirements of complex tissues." http://cancerdiscovery.aacrjournals.org/content/3/11/1228.short View in LinkedIn

GIANT AMPLIFIER. "The overall function of alternative splicing is to increase the diversity of mRNAs expressed from the genome. Alternative splicing changes proteins encoded by mRNAs, which has profound functional effects." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378111912009791 View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues from last weekend and concludes this weekend on the theme of alternative splicing in genetics. This mechanism amplifies the number of proteins that a limited number of genes can make, thus playing a key role in evolution, allowing proteins with novel functions to expand the phenotype of organisms. Once again, the ingenuity of this chance event questions intention in nature. View in LinkedIn

EXTRAORDINARY STORY. "Kennedy’s dreams: His electrodes wouldn’t simply be a tool for helping locked-in patients to communicate but would also be the engine of an enhanced and cybernetic future in which people live as minds in metal shells.” http://www.wired.com/2016/01/phil-kennedy-mind-control-computer/ View in LinkedIn

THE POINTY EDGE. “Early adopters like "biohackers" — people who modify their bodies with chips they implant themselves — are already buying RFID chips to inject under the skin using a syringe at home and using supplements, smart drugs, and engineered brain states to improve mental abilities.” http://www.businessinsider.com/brain-implants-will-give-us-superpowers-2014-4 View in LinkedIn

INSTANT INFO. “We are already developing contacts that can zoom. Combined with implants, we could control them with the brain, allowing us enhance the zoom at will and eventually be able to search the Web for information on what we see.” http://www.businessinsider.com/brain-implants-will-give-us-superpowers-2014-4 View in LinkedIn
