All about genetics...

Fruit fly gene research may shed light on human disease processes. Love how the article begins. Made me laugh, but so true. A regular person, like myself, would think just to find it and kill them because their gross and the kitties would be all over them meowing, more like Mitsuru would be going mental. heee... This one's a very interesting read. Explains how fruit flies are used in the aid and research methods of finding different and unknown factors in our and other species. We seem them as nuisance and scientists see them as research material which should be respected.

Fruit fly gene research may shed light on human disease processes.

The X-effect one article that kept me wanting more... I think that intermingling genes (making male-hybrids) like that of course is going to deteriorate the production of spermatogenisis. But learning of this for future is a good thing. As many species are suffering from infertility problems. I can't wait for the research to begin and see if the cause of infertility is the X-chromosome not shutting down and thus preventing the male Hybrids, that have been altered already [15 generations], from being fertile. This sort of article do really make me think so very much what is going on through out the species. [X chromosome exposed].

Bird sex is something else. Wow, they use dosage compensation to maintain the sex equilibrium.

I'm aware that I know little about science and which I was totally a loser at in high school but reading research being done about this is so interesting. And reading about the Story of the X [http://www.physorg.com/news159105336.html] is amazing. So much study has been done for the Y that is about time the X get some spotlight. The evolution of the X is quite interesting and I'm amazed that we have the change to learn what many others in years a past didn't.

How do you know if your male or female? Finding it out is quite interesting... It's not the ration of the X but the dose/number in the short and specific time frame when the embryo is being developed that the signals are convey to make it male or female.

The secrets to staying young may be in the cellular level which may or may not be good for the ones already born. But there are so many other ways to combat the aging process which I find interesting but for a personal purpose don't care to much about it. I really wonder why we care to stay young for crying out loud. We are born we live our young, adult and old age and die. That are the facts of every species in this world. Enjoy what you have why is the need to enhance and maintain the youth? I really don't get it. Aging gracefully is another thing but staying young just for selfish reasons is disgusting in my books.
