Discussions about Science, Evolution, and the Nature of the Universe. Tuesday, July 22, 2008. New Method Of Selecting DNA Microarray-based Genomic Selection (MGS),. Finding: Microarray-based Genomic Selection (MGS), is a research protocol that allows scientists to extract and enrich specific large-sized DNA regions, then compare genetic variation among individuals using DNA resequencing methods. Sequencing can be done by a small staff of researchers.it is inexpensive and not labor intensive. MGS uses DNA...

Science and Evolution: The Successful Failure of Creationism

http://scienceandevolution.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-successful-failure-of-creationism.html

Discussions about Science, Evolution, and the Nature of the Universe. Saturday, October 19, 2013. The Successful Failure of Creationism. Creationism and its new enhanced version, Intelligent design, have succeeded in failing. They have done so by showing that their structure of understanding how things are created can only come about by science, which they deny occurs or exists. They believe that the world is flat and covered by a firmament or dome. They take the literal interpretation of the bible&#...

Discussions about Science, Evolution, and the Nature of the Universe. Friday, June 20, 2008. Importance Of Gene Regulation For Common Human Disease. Finding: A new study shows that common, complex diseases are more likely to be due to genetic variation in regions that control activity of genes, rather than in the regions that specify the protein code. Where are the regions? DNA sequence changes in. The challenge of large-scale studies that link a DNA variant to a disease. What the HapMap does. Past studi...

Mixotrophy: Who's watching your dishwasher

http://mixotrophy.blogspot.com/2010/07/whos-watching-your-dishwasher.html

Wednesday, July 07, 2010. Who's watching your dishwasher. I followed a link in this Seth Godin blog post. To a video of a presentation. Given by Tim O'Reilly at a recent conference. The theme of the talk was the importance of data and data accessibility to future web based applications. I did not watch the whole thing, but a point he made about 10 minutes into the talk really struck me. He was talking about smart metering of electricity consumption. I recently came across your blog and have been reading ...

Discussions about Science, Evolution, and the Nature of the Universe. Saturday, October 26, 2013. Bees Extinction.at the Time of Dinosaurs. Did Bees Die and Reach extinction at the same time that Dinosaurs did? We know that Dinosaurs reached the end of their life cycle 65 million years ago. The havoc on Earth was monumental. And there was a lot of physical evidence to support that claim and scientific observation. But was that the only species that went extinct at that time? What this accomplishes is tha...

Science and Evolution: How to Prove That god Exists

http://scienceandevolution.blogspot.com/2013/09/how-to-prove-that-god-exists.html

Discussions about Science, Evolution, and the Nature of the Universe. Sunday, September 8, 2013. How to Prove That god Exists. Any time anyone asks an atheist who says that god does not exist, the remark is.Prove it. A clear example of this comes from the fact that if a person is accused of committing a crime, the prosecution has to prove that the defendant committed the crime; the defendant does not have to prove that he/she did not commit the crime. So there we have it. If god exists, then prove it.

Mixotrophy: Eating oil

Tuesday, June 22, 2010. The productivity of modern industrial agriculture is a phenomenal technological achievement. The amount of food produced per unit of arable land has increased dramatically over the past 40 years. But, this productivity comes at a cost. Current high yield methods are resource intensive and are completely dependent on substantial inputs of fossil fuel. in a 2008 article in the New York Time Magazine. Author and journalist Michael Pollan puts it bluntly. I have a PhD in Oceanography ...
