deCODE common logic... NOT!
deCODE Genetics, a company known for mining the DNA of Iceland's population to find links between genes and diseases, has hit a snag. As Science reports in this week's print issue, a national agency that oversees data privacy in Iceland has rejected a request from deCODE to allow it to apply computational methods to the…

Science, Eugenics and why Nazis won after all...
Auschwitz experiments were just the beginning. The beginning of a war Science has started against Humans. We every day see genes, talk about genes, study genes, analyze genes. We listen about the right to abortion, about the right to terminate lives in the name of our... well being. We think that Nazis lost... But their MAIN…

Genetics, Down's syndrome and our Death Civilization...
An early test for Down's syndrome is developed. With this future mothers will know even earlier if their child-to-be-born has this disease. [1] Such tests really terrify me. Because they are not performed with the intention to preserve or sustain life, but with the intention to terminate it... The point under discussion is this: Should science…

Behaviour, genetics, epigenetics...
Our behaviour can result in epigenetic changes that pass over to our children genetically. [1] At last we are starting to realize that WE are the ones who control our genes!

Pines, humans, genome...
Deciphering the genome of the loblolly pine is a tall order, as is perhaps fitting for a tree that can grow to be 30 meters in height. Researchers sequenced the conifer’s (Pinus taeda) approximately 24 billion bases of DNA, Steven Salzberg of Johns Hopkins University reported May 10. That surpasses the previous record holder, wheat,…
