http://www.google.com seriously, anything you need to find, you can find. I've found countless protocols via google.

oy another one of those other life form topics.. All of your hypotheses are based on the assumption that they follow the central dogma of molecular biology. What you are describing is what we would look like had these aliens originated from Earth. Why do I say this? Because your classifications of speciation and development corresponds with the homeoboxes that already strongly control development of organs. They really wouldn't be aliens in your case they would more or less be migrators from the planet earth.

You could mix it in with some ramen noodles... if your in that bad of welfare also, to answer your question, a PubMed search does suggest some mercury content in tuna. "In order to assess early neurotoxic effects associated with relatively low levels of mercury absorbed through fish eating, two groups of 22 adult male subjects, habitual consumers of tuna fish, and 22 controls were examined using a cross-sectional field study. The assessment included neurobehavioral tests of vigilance and psychomotor function, hand tremor measurements and serum prolactin assessment. Mercury in urine (U-Hg) and serum prolactin (sPRL) were measured in all exposed subjects and controls, whereas measurements of the organic component of mercury in blood (O-Hg) were available for only 10 exposed and six controls. U-Hg was significant higher among exposed subjects (median 6.5 microg/g of creatinine, range 1.8-21.5) than controls (median 1.5 microg/g of creatinine, range 0.5-5.3). The median values of O-Hg were 41.5 microg/l among the tuna fish eaters and 2.6 microg/l in the control group. Both U-Hg and O-Hg were significantly correlated with the quantity of fish consumed per week. Significant differences in sPRL were found between exposed (12.6 ng/ml) and controls (9.1 ng/ml). Individual sPRL were significantly correlated with both U-Hg and O-Hg levels. The neurobehavioral performance of subjects who consumed tuna fish regularly was significantly worse on color word reaction time, digit symbol reaction time and finger tapping speed (FT). After considering the education level and other covariates, the multiple stepwise regression analysis indicated that O-Hg concentration was most significantly associated with individual performance on these tests, accounting for about 65% of the variance in test scores." So if your in college or studying, it's probably a pretty bad idea.

When you feel that you've a good grasp with PHP and PHPNuke structure (i'm guessing in a year if your good, or a year.5 if your ok), contact me again and we'll talk.

I wonder why whatever the genes responsible to constant regeneration was turned off in the first place? What evolutionary advantages were there? Decreased chance of cancer?

That's going to depend on how much help I get with the coding.

I am looking for a few peeps that might be nice enough to help me start a little life-science resource: Adept in PHP/PHPNuke Advertising Experience Frequent Browser of Journal publications, (such as PubMed) University level or higher students People who will submit news and abstracts relevant, but not limited, to the following any of the following areas: Biochemistry Bioinformatics General Biology General Medicine Molecular Genetics Pharmacology Cell Biology Zoology Immunology Qualified users will be given admin powers with respect to their credentials. If you are interested, e-mail me at rakuen@gmail.com or contact me via AIM as windig0zz. The site is still fetal right now, as I just finished the server and SQL stuff yesternight. (i'm hoping i'm not violating any board rules)

Oops I misread and typed it wrong, Type O Blood did lack Antigens, not Anti-Antigens

Oh jesus another confused sci-fi kiddie. We have already isolated a large variety of genes that are Tumour Suppressors, such as the large variety of TNF's. One of the reasons that cancer arises is due to a rapid mutation, there is suspectibility that it is very closely linked to a failure of DNA repair mechanisms. There have been studies which knockout mice that lack the genes responsible for genetic repair already, where then mices are subjected to high levels of ultraviolet radiation, carcinogens, etc. etc. But as to exactly how to mutate it into this big red monster thing is a different story. As mutation is completely random and it would be hard to disturb the homeoboxes without resulting in aborted fetuses.

what do you mean by how far? To what extent will this technology advance? or when will this be feasible. Please Rephrase.

<-- 135 6'0 have always been in the lowest 25% of weight for my height, eats whatever the hell I want, does track.

yeah well i'm kinda lazy and the area where the fireflies swarm is quite soggy,muddy,humid,swampy. I'd rather just set up a jar-like trap

umm Type O meant that they lack Anti-B and Anti-A...

i'm working on making an environmentally friendly lamp any idea on how to catch them? since it seems like bait isn't going to work

does anyone know exactly what fireflies eat?

pfft if we lived in the middle ages we wouldn't be having this discussion, as back then men liked their women plump

we can get 100 grams of uranium if we killed a million people !

I didn't think it was simply possible for eukaryotes to shed their mitochondria, nucleus and choloroplasts? deathby source please.

_lol_ ok time for me to jump in The DNA polymerase enzyme is a ridiculously delicate enzyme, as it is one of THE ancestral enzymes, I doubt you can just tinker around with it to anymore perfection that it already is. The nuclei also happens to be an ancient organelle of eukaryotes, oh wait actually, no nuclei just means no eukaryotes! And thus because its ancient, it also has undergone countless years since the dawn of eukaryotes. And I highly doubt I'd live on a planet comprised of prokaryotes ;P As for heterochromatin, evidence has shown that it contains very few genes, yet is still genetically massive. What does this mean? IT has lots of introns, and despite the inactive expression of introns, which are also composed of ATCG bases, anything that contains these bases are prone to genetic mutation. We do not know anywhere near enough about eukaryotic gene expression to be able to say for sure that introns are useless, as they still have to excised in the nucleus and end up somewhere even during protein synthesis. "how about symbiotic bacteria ... for instance bacteria that interacts with the roots of plants?" Symbiotic bacteria are more of the less the result of genetic evolution and natural selection, if a bacteria mutated a gene that allowed it to manufacture a certain intermembrane protein that facilited the entry into plant root then obviously natural selection will favor its reproduction. Just because its archae doesn't change anything. The exact classification fo archae is still in debate due to taxonomic purposes, but they still undergo some of the basic cellular mechanisms such as mitosis and thus natural selection. Just because some of them can thrive under extreme conditions doesn't mean they are immune to mutations. Thus the theory of natural selection and evolution still applies

^ concurred, studies have proven that the japanese have the longest life spans. And if you've ever been to an asian continent (which i have lived in for 9 years of my life) it is obvious that asians are much skinnier than americans (which am I living in for the past 4 years), but as to why asians are skinnier and if that indicates healthiness is a whole different story.

blike random question, are you the guy or the girl in that picture

LOL that reminds me of my Mac days what i used to do was invert the screen colors and desaturate it. Then I would zoom in so that all you can see is an arrow and one icon. XD

Irc?
