By continually participating in a particular hobby, one can acquire substantial skill and knowledge in that area. Having a hobby helps to make you a more interesting person and gives you something fascinating to talk about with others. It can also help you to avoid feeling bored and often provides the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests. Learning something new is always good for keeping the mind active. This will also make you a more interesting person than a person who is addicted to Facebook, TV or doing other time wasting and unhealthy tasks. There are hundreds of hobbies a person can choose from. Some of them are: collecting, outdoor, sports, creative hobbies etc. Collecting is a practice with a very old cultural history. The collecting hobby is a modern descendant of the "cabinet of curiosities" which was common among scholars with the means and opportunities to acquire unusual items from the 16th century onwards. The involvement of larger numbers of people in collecting activities comes with the prosperity and increased leisure for some in the later 19th century in industrial countries. That is when collecting such items as antique china, furniture and decorative items from oriental countries becomes established. The hobby of collecting includes seeking, locating, acquiring, organizing...

...How to play Subway Surfers? An ‘endless running’ game (the player continually moves forward without stopping until the player hits an object), Subways Surfers is one of the most popular games worldwide. The main objective of the game is to collect coins and various other rewards while running through an endless game world. The players of the game takes the roles of a young hooligan who is caught while applying graffiti to a metro railway, starts running down the railway tracks to escape the inspector and his dog. Trains and other obstacles which come in the way of the player can be avoided by swiping left or right or by jumping or by rolling. Surfboards act as a sort of temporary invincibility but two respective hits while riding one surfboard will end the surfboard run. Players can increase their score multiplier by completing the missions given. Completion of these missions rewards players with bonuses. The game ends when the player collides with an obstacle and is caught by the inspector and his dog. To help the player on his or her run, there are 4 special kinds of power ups – Jetpacks, Super Sneakers, Coin Magnet and Double Multiplier.

...In 1950, the curiosity, innovation, and persistence of James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins, and Rosalind Franklin all together led to a detailed and completed understanding of the structure of Deoxyribonucleic acid. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the genetic material found in all cells and is the stuff that genes are made out of. Their discoveries would come to answer one of the most impending questions in the science of life. How do living things pass on traits to their children? This is the question that sparked the want and need of exploration and discovery. James Watson and Francis Crick are the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA in 1953. Rosalind Franklin was collecting experimental data about DNA with Maurice Wilkins. Watson...

...every cell. The genetic information is stored in the DNA. During gene expression DNA is transcript to RNA and these RNA are transcribed to proteins. Bioinformatics deals with the genetic information which involves collecting, analyzing, manipulating and predicting etc. For the functioning of bioinformatics it is essential to know the genetic information that is stored in DNA. Therefore sequencing of DNA, genes or genomes is the fundamental need in bioinformatics. Organisms that are used in biological experiments in laboratories are called ‘model organisms’, of which most genomes are sequenced at present (rat, yeast, Arabidopsis; plant model organism) These sequenced genomes could be analyzed using bioinformatics tools in order to identify genes of significance as in drought tolerance genes in plants etc. Information revealed from sequencing could be studied using bioinformatics tools to understand its underlying mechanisms and to generate models that could be used in further studies. This information could also be used in evolutionary studies, micro array analysis, identification of genetic disorders (Alzheimer’s disease, breast cancer, cystic fibrosis, spinal muscular atrophy etc.) Discoveries have revealed that despite of the universality of the central dogma the regulation mechanisms in cells tend to create variations in the results of the same genetic material. This denotes the fact that DNA is not the only source of information that is to be used...

...research initiative that sequence the DNA of about a million volunteers. The process of genome sequencing is complex, but to put it in simpler terms it’s determining the precise number of nucleotides inside of a DNA molecule. Successful DNA sequencing has also lead to a huge increase in biological/medical research and discovery, which is why Obama has put so much money into researching it. Because of all these great promises of mass genome sequencing, there has also been much hype that comes along with it. which leads to the question, is it safe? Another question often brought up in the subject of genome sequencing is how well the laboratories are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Some argue that the...

...difficult to remove. Because no two humans are genetically the same (except for identical twins) these body fluids are unique to the person they originated from. By performing DNA analysis of these fluids or stains, a genetic marker profile can be obtained that is essentially specific to that individual. At a crime scene, many types of biological evidences may be present. Each type of biological evidence has a unique importance and its own probative value. Ordinarily, biological evidence are photographed or collected from crime scene and sent to the laboratory for a DNA investigation. The DNA specific to each individual is an effective means of identification. DNA analyst can associate evidence to a person and give the frequency of occurrence in a random population. However, microscopic hair examinations tend to be subjective and highly dependant on the skills and integrity of the analyst. For this reason a reported hair comparison must contain DNA information. DNA does more than just identify the source of the sample; it can place a known individual at a crime scene, in a home, or in a room where the suspect claimed not to have been. It can refute a claim of self-defense and put a weapon in the suspect's hand. It can change a story from an alibi to one of consent. The more officers know how to use DNA, the more powerful a tool it becomes. When finding the evidence the procedure you are suppose to take to storage it is...

...In the past thirty years,the war on cancer has evolved in many ways. One way cancer treatment has progressed is the technology of genetic mapping. Genetic mapping is researching one’s genes to identify gene markings for certain diseases. Genes are found in the DNA in each cell that makes up the human body. There are typically 30,000 different genes per cell, and they control every function and aspect of every living organism (“Genetics”). People have forty-six chromosomes in two sets of twenty-three, one set from your father and one from your mother (“Genetics”). Genes control how a person is made by making proteins. Each gene has a "code" for making proteins. This is because each cell needs to perform a certain task. Cancer begins when one...

...DNA The Building Blocks Of Life Edward J Lechleitner 11/3/2015 We all know that elephants only give birth to little elephants, giraffes to giraffes, dogs to dogs and so on for every type of living creature. Why? The answer lies in a molecule known as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), which contains the biological instructions that make each species unique. DNA, along with the instructions it contains, is passed from adult organisms to their offspring during reproduction. In organisms called eukaryotes, which includes all living animals, DNA is found inside the area of the cell called the nucleus. Because the cell is very small, and because organisms have many DNA molecules per cell, each DNA molecule must be tightly packed. This packed form of the DNA is called a chromosome. During DNA replication, DNA unwinds so it can be copied. At other times in the cell cycle, DNA also unwinds so that its instructions can be used to make proteins and for other biological processes. But during cell division, DNA is in its compact chromosome form to enable transfer to new cells. Researchers refer to DNA found in the cell's nucleus as nuclear DNA. An organism's complete set of nuclear DNA is called its genome. Besides the DNA located in the nucleus, humans and other complex organisms also have a small amount of DNA in cell structures known as mitochondria. Mitochondria generate the energy the cell needs to function properly. DNA is made of chemical building blocks called...

...Bureau of Investigation (FBI), there were a total of 14,827 reported murders in the USA (FBI.) The first thing that investigators look at when they arrive at the crime site is DNA evidence from the criminal. Once the DNA evidence is collected they will attempt to create a DNA profile to match the assailant to one of the suspects. Although this procedure may seem perfect, when put into action, there are often several issues. One of the biggest issues is the fact that the DNA sample collected from the scene is incomplete. Often only partial samples are collected and it leaves room for doubt during the prosecution. In addition, during laboratory analysis of the DNA sample, the use of different machines and the amount of...

...How has our knowledge of DNA improved the study of criminal forensics? Introduction Through genetics, the study of DNA, we are able to figure out what and how genes are responsible for many things like our hair color or why do some people look a lot like their parents and others don’t. It also allows us to understand better how species evolve and how are they related to each other. It is important to understand how DNA mutates, changes and replicates in order to get information about what mechanisms cause DNA to change. In the 1970s scientists developed a DNA sequencing technique and other methods to manipulate and analyze DNA. This gave them the basic tools to start exploring the DNA blueprint which provided the techniques for a vast international project called The Human Genome Project (MRC). The Human Genome Project which was a major international project with the goal of decoding all our genetic information by 2003. A rough draft was done in June 2003 and it was a huge milestone that helped us understand how our genes can determine who we are (Genome Project). Many of today’s advances in DNA and biotechnology allow scientists and medical doctors to potentially cure genetic disorders through gene therapy by inserting, deleting or manipulating genes (Tillery, page 686). Another use of DNA technology is the creation of mutation by transferring DNA from one organism to another through techniques like cloning and introducing new DNA sequence into an organism to alter...

...experiment involving all living beings. Considering the fast pace of new advances in production of genetically modified crops, consumers, farmers and policymakers worldwide are challenged to reach a consensus on a clear vision for the future of world food supply. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are being made by inserting a gene from an external source such as viruses, bacteria, animals or plants into usually unrelated species. Biotechnology has granted us the ability to overcome insurmountable physiological barriers and to exchange genetic materials among all living organisms. Concerning bacteria, the ability to genetically modify plants depends on obtaining genetically identical populations and readily manipulating DNA. The use of recombinant DNA technology has the potential to allow the creation of an organism which is desired and designed by human. According by Halford, N.G, Shewry, P.R, genetically Modified crop means any crop containing or derived from a genetically engineered organism. Another method is to culture plants from totipotent cells found in plant meristems. These plant cells can divide and differentiate into the various types of specialized cells. In a test tube, plant cells will divide and form an undifferentiated callus. When hormones in the culture medium are adjusted, the callus will sprout shoots and roots and eventually develop into a plantlet that can be transplanted to soil. To clone a plant - perhaps a plant with new genes - the growing callus...
