Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe DNA examined in new Channel 4 show

Posted: Published on December 30th, 2014

Channel 4 has attempted to sequence the DNA of famous figures including Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe in new show Dead Famous DNA. The new three-part series - which has taken three years to make - sees presenter Mark Evans trying to find body parts and human relics from historical figures such as Adolf Hitler, Charles Darwin, John F Kennedy, Napoleon, Marlon Brando and King George III in an attempt to learn more about them from their DNA. After paying $2,000 for samples of Presley's hair from his barber, the scientists found that Presley had genetic variants for migraines, obesity and glaucoma - as well as a variant known to cause a heart muscle disease called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The condition usually occurs in men between the ages of 20 and 40 and causes the thickening of the heart and weakening of the heart muscle. Presley is known to have suffered from some of the symptoms associated with the disease, raising fresh questions about the cause of Presley's death at the age of 42. However, not all of the testing proved so successful, as hair samples from King George III - bought for $5,000 - turned out to be cut from … Continue reading →

Every recipe has both instructions and ingredients. So does the human genome. An error in the instructions can raise the risk for disease. Every cell in your body reads the same genome, the DNA-encoded instruction set that builds proteins. But your cells couldnt be more different. Neurons send electrical messages, liver cells break down chemicals, muscle cells move the body. How do cells employ the same basic set of genetic instructions to carry out their own specialized tasks? The answer lies in a complex, multilayered system that controls how proteins are made. Frey compares the genome to a recipe that a baker might use. All recipes include a list of ingredientsflour, eggs and butter, sayalong with instructions for what to do with those ingredients. Inside a cell, the ingredients are the parts of the genome that code for proteins; surrounding them are the genomes instructions for how to combine those ingredients. Just as flour, eggs and butter can be transformed into hundreds of different baked goods, genetic components can be assembled into many different configurations. This process is called alternative splicing, and its how cells create such variety out of a single genetic code. Frey and his colleagues used a … Continue reading →

Improved chemistry helping Wizards reach their potential

Posted: Published on December 30th, 2014

A little chemistry can go a long way. After having the best year in a decade last season, the Washington Wizards are on track to have an even better one this season. Behind MVP candidate John Wall, the Wizards are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference and the players say it all comes down to being in sync. I think the balance between the role players and the guys who have to bring it every day its good, Marcin Gortat said. We have the right system and we are trying to stick to our principles and what we are supposed to do. We have some days where we have less focus than we are supposed to have. At the end of the day, I think we have a really talented team that works really well together. Washington finished 44-38 last season and made it to the conference semifinals. The Wizards had a good thing going but lost a key piece of the puzzle -forward Trevor Ariza, who ended up in Houston, where the Wizards defeated the Rockets 104-103 on Monday night. They are now 22-8 on the season. Ariza, a veteran leader, was helping build the teams … Continue reading →
