INTRODUCTION - OVERVIEW - Biology as a science deals with the origin, history, process, and physical characteristics, of plants and animals:it includes botany, and zoology. A study of biology includes the study of the chemical basis of living organisms, DNA. Other related sciences include microbiology and organic chemistry.See the "Online Biology Book" an excellent reference!! The main difference between a lifeless clump of chemicals, and a living life form, composed of the same chemicals, is; Information and access to an energy source. The word science comes from a Latin word scientica, which means knowledge, or information. Science is a process of systematically gathering detailed information and gaining exact knowledge. That vital information includes; how the basic elements are organized and how they utilize energy. We do not know all the "life" information secrets but we are learning more every day. The three biological life cycles, are; Zygotic meiosis, Sporic meiosis, and Gametic meiosis, Amoeba - one basic life form. Amoebas … Continue reading →

Tim OReilly subjected himself to an engaging Ask Me Anything session on Reddit earlier this week. The focus of the exchange was the Internet of Things, in anticipation of ourSolidconferencetaking place next month. Were always listening for faint signals from our community about what theyre getting interested in, and one area thats stood out to us is biology, which is becoming easier to experiment with at home, as a hobbyist, and through hackerspaces like Biocurious and Genspace. Youll find a few threads on biology at Solid this year, but weve tagged it to be a little more central at Solid 2015. Beyond the hobbyist and health-related applications, we see synthetic biology as another way to translate between virtual and physical, like 3D printers and stereoscopic cameras. Heres an exchange from Tuesdays Reddit thread that sums it up nicely. Question from rhops: What prompted the start of BioCoder? Are people really doing biotech in their garages in the same way that many computer hardware and software innovations happened? Thanks. Answer from Tim: Yes, there is definitely a biotech revolution. Weve been watching this for some years. When IGEM (the International Genetically Engineered Machines competition for high schoolers) started some years back, … Continue reading →

Geoffrey M. Attardo An estimated 70 million people remain at risk for sleeping sickness, which is carried by the tsetse fly. Public-health workers are one step closer to stamping out a debilitating and potentially fatal disease known as sleeping sickness following the sequence of its carrier, the tsetse fly. The 366-million-base sequence of Glossina morsitans morsitans offers clues to the insect's diet, vision and reproductive strategies, researchers say. This really accelerates our ability to do basic research on this fly, says lead author Geoffrey Attardo of the Yale School of Public Health in New Haven, Connecticut. The work was published today in Science1. Tsetse flies carry protozoan parasites that cause sleeping sickness, also known as trypanosomiasis, in humans, and a similar disease (nagana) in livestock, in sub-Saharan Africa. Control measures such as trapping and killing the flies have helped to bring down the number of cases, but there is no vaccination, and an estimated 70 million people remain at risk of infection. The decoding of the genome will help researchers to hone in on specific characteristics of the fly and potentially lead to new or more effective ways to control the fly population, says Attardo. G. morsitans has become the … Continue reading →

PUBLIC RELEASE DATE: 24-Apr-2014 Contact: Mary Clarke press.office@sanger.ac.uk 44-012-234-95328 Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Mining the genome of the disease-transmitting tsetse fly, researchers have revealed the genetic adaptions that allow it to have such unique biology and transmit disease to both humans and animals. The tsetse fly spreads the parasitic diseases human African trypanosomiasis, known as sleeping sickness, and Nagana that infect humans and animals respectively. Throughout sub-Saharan Africa, 70 million people are currently at risk of deadly infection. Human African trypanosomiasis is on the World Health Organization's (WHO) list of neglected tropical diseases and since 2013 has become a target for eradication. Understanding the tsetse fly and interfering with its ability to transmit the disease is an essential arm of the campaign. This disease-spreading fly has developed unique and unusual biological methods to source and infect its prey. Its advanced sensory system allows different tsetse fly species to track down potential hosts either through smell or by sight. This study lays out a list of parts responsible for the key processes and opens new doors to design prevention strategies to reduce the number of deaths and illness associated with human African trypanosomiasis and other diseases spread by the tsetse fly. … Continue reading →
