Memories Can Be Passed Down Through DNA

Sat, 10 May 2014 21:24:10 -0500

The premise of Assassin's Creed is the reliving of other people's memories stored inside DNA. Well scientists have found that in mice, it actually happens! Anthony is joined by special guest and our friend Tara Long from Hard Science to explain how this process works, and if it might apply to humans as well.

What Is Epigenetics? http://www.sciencemag.org/content/330/6004/611 "The cells in a multicellular organism have nominally identical DNA sequences (and therefore the same genetic instruction sets), yet maintain different terminal phenotypes. This nongenetic cellular memory, which records developmental and environmental cues (and alternative cell states in unicellular organisms), is the basis of epi-(above)-genetics."

Bioinformatics Codes Search

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 11:08:52 -0500

I bet, this website will be your best friend in near future. This helps us to explore the existing open source codes and learn from it.

You can find some useful open source bioinformatics codes for your analysis work. You can use the left bar options to filtere out or narrow down your search result. This webpage can be an useful resource for a beginners bioinformatician as it contain several bioinformatics basics script that are commonly used by biological programmers and biologist.

Stand on the slumped, dandruff-covered shoulders of millions of computer nerds. _/\_

Enjoy the code and research work.

Programming language to build synthetic DNA

Jit — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 16:37:24 -0500

A team led by Georg Seelig (http://homes.cs.washington.edu/~seelig/index.html) at University of Washington has developed a programming language for chemistry that it hopes will streamline efforts to design a network that can guide the behavior of chemical-reaction mixtures in the same way that embedded electronic controllers guide cars, robots and other devices. In medicine, such networks could serve as “smart” drug deliverers or disease detectors at the cellular level.

BioLinux Ubuntu Desktop folder and files disappeared !!

Jit — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 08:40:41 -0600

Restarted my BioLinux ubuntu computer after an update, and when I logged back in, I noticed that all of my files went missing. Instead of Desktop folder, icons of all of my home folder are showed on desktop.

Then I thaught it migh be a problem of graphical display and I opened the terminal out of curiosity, and I found out that there is no ~/Desktop folder at all. What happened? What do I need to do?

Then I google the problem and found this is a very common problem after updates. To fix this problem, follow these steps:

You need to edit the ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs file, and make sure the contents of the file are like the following:

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/Share"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/Documents"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"

Then restart nautilus:

killall nautilus

or

nautilus -q

Then, open nautilus via Unity menu (press the Super key) or using the run command (Alt+F2)

Setting python version as default on Linux

Rahul Nayak — Tue, 04 Sep 2018 10:15:47 -0500

If you have a later version than 2.6 you'll need to set 2.6 as the default Python. Later versions would be 2.7 and 3.1; see what you have by typing

python -V

at the terminal. For purposes of this example we'll assume you have 3.1 installed. You'll next need to execute the following commands:

sudo apt-get install python2.6 idle-python2.6
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.1 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.6 10
sudo update-alternatives --config python

This last command will allow you to choose which version of python to use by default. If you have done everything above correctly, python2.6 should already be set as the default. If it is not, choose it to be the default. From now on, running python should start version 2.6.

Undoing These Changes

In some cases (e.g., installing or updating certain packages), you'll get an error message if you've run the commands above. To update these packages, you'll have to temporarily undo these changes. Here's how to do that:

sudo update-alternatives --remove-all python
sudo ln -s python3.1 /usr/bin/python

Once you're done updating these packages, execute the commands at the top to set python2.6 as the default again.
