I feel like slides should almost act like a prompt to me (the speaker) as opposed to presenting critical information. I am also a feverish believer that throwing out a huge amount of technical content in a presentation is (often, though obv

I just wrote a very similar response, but it now seems superfluous. This is a by-product of the chav generations. It's the same people that make city centres essentially a no-go area on Friday and Saturday night. It's the outcome of a binge

Unless they're literally building out a new data-center from scratch, or hire-aquring the competition (which you'd think would be anticompetitive) I can't see how they can spend that kind of money on anything worthwhile. Dropbox is great, b

So the viruses incorporated into our DNA are in fact fragments of viral DNA, typically from reverse transcriptases. The DRACO proteins recognizes double stranded RNA (dsRNA), while reverse transcriptases incorporate dsDNA into our genome, a

I did a module in logic and prolog for a CS masters and agree it's very refreshing. I actually got a lot more out of it as a language in the context of predicate logic (which I started hating but by the end really enjoyed).

So telomerase is slightly different - chromosomes have teleomeres at the end of each chromosome. These are just like long bits of "this-is-the-end-of-the-chromosome" DNA, like when you have a role of receipts and towards the end they have a

Certain critical or unstable regions are kept in check, so if you get mutation there cell undergoes apoptosis. This is for cancer avoidance though. There are also a host of proteins that check for DNA breaks, damage from UV or other carcino

These DRACO proteins are (in the grand scheme of things) non-sequence (or indeed virus) specific, which is one of the reasons this is so exciting. They are specific in terms of the dsRNA binding domain they’re built with, although these dom

A negative result DOES mean there are not detectable levels of antibodies. However, while obviously highly linked this is NOT the same as saying you don't have it. They're correct to say it has a 100% detection rate (assuming it does, but

Couldn't agree more (hence my post) - although nutrition may play a role in the antibody response. Malnourished individuals (especially those with low protein diets) tend to show slower antibody responses, so may have a longer seronconversi

I think it's worth pointing out that while this is great tech, it's still relying on antibody detection, and the incubation period between infection and antibody production can be anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months. However, you yourself bec
