#DNA Structure

[twentyeightsuns]

something that always helps me whenever i am feeling unmotivated or resentful towards my studies (mostly because of the toxicity surrounding the competitive nature of the exams i am preparing for) is pausing for a sec and wondering how exactly the particular concept came to be in front of me. how many nights did the Curies spend awake discussing the whys and hows of radioactivity? how exactly did Henry and Raoult think of solvents exerting pressure differently in different cases? did Franklin have to worry about fighting patriarchy besides working on her discovery? did Stefan/Boltzmann ever know we'd be able to calculate the temperature of the Sun? did they know their passion and their love for their respective subjects would be influencing millions of lives down the road? did they? and so i take another breath, mutter a thank you w my head up and continue.

DNA: The Blueprint of Life

Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, is not merely a scientific acronym; it is a magical blueprint that encodes the instructions for the development, functioning, and maintenance of all known living organisms. It stands as a remarkable thread that weaves the story of existence itself. The significance of DNA in understanding life's complexities cannot be overstated, as it holds the key to unraveling the mysteries of our very existence.

This double-helix structure, discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, is truly a marvel of nature. It its core, DNA is a molecule with a mesmerizing structure. Its double helix, reminiscent of a delicate spiral staircase, consists of two strands entwined with each other. Composed of nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA, it is a symphony of adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G). The specific arrangement of these nucleotides forms the unique code that dictates the genetic information for each organism.

DNA is the architect behind the breathtaking diversity of life on Earth. Each organism's DNA carries a distinctive code, akin to a fingerprint, responsible for its traits, characteristics, and behaviors. From the majestic redwood trees to the microscopic bacteria, the DNA blueprint is the guiding force shaping every living entity. The magical essence of DNA lies not only in its role as a blueprint but also in its capacity to adapt and evolve. Over eons, mutations and variations in DNA have paved the way for the astounding diversity of species. Natural selection, the driving force of evolution, acts upon the changes in DNA, allowing life to adapt to its environment and ensuring the survival of the fittest.

The importance of DNA extends far beyond its role in determining physical traits. In the realm of medicine, the understanding of DNA has opened doors to groundbreaking discoveries. Genetic research has unraveled the mysteries behind various diseases, paving the way for personalized medicine tailored to an individual's unique genetic makeup. From predicting susceptibility to diseases to developing targeted therapies, the study of DNA has become a cornerstone of modern healthcare. DNA's magical fingerprinting capability has revolutionized forensic science. The uniqueness of each individual's DNA profile has made it an invaluable tool in solving crimes and identifying individuals with unprecedented accuracy. DNA forensics has become a powerful ally in the pursuit of justice, revealing the hidden tales within the genetic code.

DNA, the magical thread connecting all living beings, holds the key to the past, present, and future of life on Earth. Its remarkable structure, intricate code, and capacity for adaptation make it a fascinating subject of study. As we continue to unlock the secrets encoded in our DNA, the magical blueprint of life promises to reveal even more wonders, offering new insights into our origins, our health, and the limitless possibilities of the biological world.

High frequencies of Y chromosome lineages characterized by E3b1, DYS19-11, DYS392-12 in Somali males

High frequencies of Y chromosome lineages characterized by E3b1, DYS19-11, DYS392-12 in Somali males Abstract We genotyped 45 biallelic markers and 11 STR systems on the Y chromosome in 201 male Somalis. In addition, 65 sub-Saharan Western Africans, 59 Turks and 64 Iraqis were typed for the biallelic Y chromosome markers. In Somalis, 14 Y chromosome haplogroups were identified including E3b1…

Happy to share, ARTEMIS is now published at NAR!

https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkae758

ARTEMIS is a new tool for RNA/DNA 3D structure superposition and structure-based sequence alignment. Our benchmarks show that it outperforms the existing tools for both sequentially-ordered and topology-independent alignment.

ARTEMIS allowed us to identify an intriguing structural similarity between Lysine and M-box riboswitches (see the figure) and to describe the minor-groove/minor-groove helical packing motif. ARTEMIS is the first tool able to report several alternative superpositions, which makes it suitable for structural motif identification tasks.

ARTEMIS is available at GitHub: https://github.com/david-bogdan-r/ARTEMIS

Thanks to Davyd Bohdan, Janusz Bujnicki, & International Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology in Warsaw!

Red panda (or rlly any cold weather creature) therian culture is not being able to STAND the cold, even despite the habitat of your kintype :((

yeah I cant handle anything that isn't 70 fahrenheight

cant handle the cold

Random funny thing to me is when people insist that two characters are basically siblings to each other and it's so weird to ship them (because they're connected in some way through a member of their family)

And the truth is that yes they can technically be considered family (in the nuclear family way) if you want them to be, but not because they're siblings. You actually have at least a miniscule argument here and yet you've lost arguing that they're basically siblings😂

Life is full of horrors, but I'll never be 26 again on a late August summer night, wandering through a Greek city in the pouring rain, wearing my most colorful sundress and holding hands with my close friends.
