agriculture and eugenics. It also causes us to consider why the leading American eugenicist, Charles Davenport, failed take greater stock in the corn research going on at one of several institutions he presided over at Cold Spring Harbor.</p> <p>Especially in the United States, eugenics was firmly grounded in agriculture. Many of the leaders of the American movement had backgrounds in plant and animal breeding.

In fact, much of cancer can be avoided by changing behavior. For examples of some causes of cancer, check out <em><a href="http://www.insidecancer.org">Inside Cancer</a></em>. Some of the causes of cancer are less obvious. An example is maintaining a healthy weight. Did you know that overweight people are 50% more likely to die of cancer than those with normal body weight? In the United States, this means each year about 90,000 people die of cancer that could be prevented if we could all <a class="more-link" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/30/six-tips-on-avoiding-cancer/">More ></a></p> </div> <div class="post-tags"> <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/cancer/" rel="tag" title="Cancer (25 topics)">Cancer</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/diet/" rel="tag" title="diet (2 topics)">diet</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/food/" rel="tag" title="food (1 topics)">food</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/fruit/" rel="tag" title="fruit (1 topics)">fruit</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/meat/" rel="tag" title="meat (2 topics)">meat</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/prevention/" rel="tag" title="Prevention (4 topics)">Prevention</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/smoking/" rel="tag" title="smoking (1 topics)">smoking</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/vegetables/" rel="tag" title="vegetables (1 topics)">vegetables</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/weight/" rel="tag" title="weight (2 topics)">weight</a> </div> </div>   <div id="post-594" class="hentry post post-4 even alt author-mcbrien category-dnafromthebeginning post_tag-chance post_tag-chromosomes post_tag-dna post_tag-inheritance post_tag-lessons post_tag-meiosis post_tag-teaching clear-block"> <a class="post-thumb size-post-thumbnail alignleft" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/25/some-cells-have-23-chromosomes/"><img width="100" height="100" src="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/180px-Sperm-egg-100x100.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="180px-Sperm-egg" /></a> <h2 class="title"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/25/some-cells-have-23-chromosomes/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: Some Cells Have 23 Chromosomes">Some Cells Have 23 Chromosomes</a></h2> <div class="post-date"> <p class="day">Nov 25th</p> </div> <div class="post-info clear-block with-thumbs"> <p class="author alignleft">Posted by <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/author/mcbrien/" title="Posts by Amanda McBrien ">Amanda McBrien</a> in <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/category/sitetopics/dnafromthebeginning/">DNA From The Beginning</a> </p> <p class="comments alignright"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/25/some-cells-have-23-chromosomes/#comments" class="no comments">No comments</a></p> </div> <div class="post-content clear-block"> <p><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/180px-Sperm-egg.jpg"></a>It is a game of chance! With one spin of a wheel, X and Y chromosomes, represented by pink (X) and green ping-pong balls (Y), are passed from each parent to a child. When the wheel stops, the baby is either a boy or a girl – depending on which chromosomes were inherited. It is a simple, yet powerful tool that demonstrates basic chromosomal inheritance. It is easy to see that every time the wheel is spun, there is a 50/50 chance of having a boy or a girl.</p> <p>Demonstrations with this wheel have led to some very interesting student responses and questions.

HPV is divided into two major categories, high risk types which includes types 16, 18, 31. 33, 35. 39, 45, and low risk types 6 and 11. HPV 16 is implicated in over 90% of cervical cancers and shown to be a causal factor in the development of the disease. HPV produces two oncoproteins, E6 and E7, which inactivate the cellular tumor suppressor proteins, p53 and pRB respectively.

One of the central tenants of the course I studied and taught was the dogma of synaptic transmission. The basic tenant of this dogma is that neurons communicate exclusively by sending chemical signals across the synaptic cleft. Pretty much every neuroscience textbook ever written is filled with this idea. It turns out that this is not actually the whole truth. To communicate, brain cells do not need a synapse at all!</p> <p>This is the surprising news from <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez/19865171">a team of researchers are the University of Szeged, Hungary</a>. <a class="more-link" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/12/your-teacher-was-wrong/">More ></a></p> </div> <div class="post-tags"> <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/gaba/" rel="tag" title="GABA (2 topics)">GABA</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/gabor/" rel="tag" title="gabor (1 topics)">gabor</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/gabor-tamas/" rel="tag" title="Gábor Tamás (1 topics)">Gábor Tamás</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/neurogliaform/" rel="tag" title="neurogliaform (1 topics)">neurogliaform</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/neurotransmission/" rel="tag" title="neurotransmission (2 topics)">neurotransmission</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/synapse/" rel="tag" title="synapse (1 topics)">synapse</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/synaptic-transmission/" rel="tag" title="synaptic transmission (1 topics)">synaptic transmission</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/tamas/" rel="tag" title="tamas (1 topics)">tamas</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/university-of-szeged/" rel="tag" title="University of Szeged (1 topics)">University of Szeged</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/volume-transmission/" rel="tag" title="volume transmission (1 topics)">volume transmission</a> </div> </div>   <div id="post-553" class="hentry post post-8 even alt author-mckechni category-dnafromthebeginning post_tag-blood post_tag-dna post_tag-transfusion clear-block"> <a class="post-thumb size-post-thumbnail alignleft" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/10/does-new-dna-always-mean-new-traits/"><img width="100" height="100" src="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DNA-100x100.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="DNA" /></a> <h2 class="title"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/10/does-new-dna-always-mean-new-traits/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: Does New DNA Always Mean New Traits?">Does New DNA Always Mean New Traits?</a></h2> <div class="post-date"> <p class="day">Nov 10th</p> </div> <div class="post-info clear-block with-thumbs"> <p class="author alignleft">Posted by <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/author/mckechni/" title="Posts by Erin McKechnie ">Erin McKechnie</a> in <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/category/sitetopics/dnafromthebeginning/">DNA From The Beginning</a> </p> <p class="comments alignright"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/10/does-new-dna-always-mean-new-traits/#comments" class="no comments">No comments</a></p> </div> <div class="post-content clear-block"> <p><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/DNA.jpg"></a>I was teaching a class of fifth grade students last week and we were discussing the characteristics of DNA and cells.

I explained that although cells can be diverse in their appearance and functions, within one organism they all have the same DNA (except for mature red blood cells and gametes).

In 1994, the fossil was named Ardipithecus ramidus. In the Afar language, “Ardi” means ground floor and “ramid” means root.</p> <p>Affectionately known as “Ardi”, some of her features were distinctive. Due to her location in the ancient Ethiopian strata, she was dated to 4.4 million years ago, pre-dating “Lucy” (Australopithecus afarensis) by over a million years. Her brain size was much smaller than Lucy’s but was similar to that of a modern chimpanzee. <a class="more-link" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/09/the-new-%e2%80%9coldest%e2%80%9d-member-to-our-hominid-family-tree/">More ></a></p> </div> <div class="post-tags"> <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/4-4-million/" rel="tag" title="4.4 million (1 topics)">4.4 million</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/afar/" rel="tag" title="afar (1 topics)">afar</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/anthropology/" rel="tag" title="anthropology (2 topics)">anthropology</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/ardi/" rel="tag" title="ardi (1 topics)">ardi</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/ardipithecus-ramidus/" rel="tag" title="Ardipithecus ramidus (1 topics)">Ardipithecus ramidus</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/fossil/" rel="tag" title="fossil (2 topics)">fossil</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/hallux/" rel="tag" title="hallux (1 topics)">hallux</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/lucy/" rel="tag" title="lucy (1 topics)">lucy</a>, <a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/tag/tim-white/" rel="tag" title="tim white (1 topics)">tim white</a> </div> </div>   <div id="post-518" class="hentry post post-10 even alt author-jwatkins category-yourgenesyourhealth post_tag-cancer post_tag-diabetes post_tag-disease post_tag-genetic-profile post_tag-health post_tag-inheritance post_tag-medicines post_tag-pharmacogenomics post_tag-ygyh clear-block"> <a class="post-thumb size-post-thumbnail alignleft" href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/06/how-can-i-prolong-health-hmmm%e2%80%a6/"><img width="100" height="100" src="http://blogs.dnalc.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/nov-pic-150x150-100x100.jpg" class="attachment-post-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="nov-pic-150x150" /></a> <h2 class="title"><a href="http://blogs.dnalc.org/2009/11/06/how-can-i-prolong-health-hmmm%e2%80%a6/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: How can I prolong health?
