Cracking the Code of Life Cracking the Code of Life PBS Airdate: April 17, 2001 ROBERT KRULWICH: When I look at this—and these are the three billion chemical letters, instructions for a human being—my eyes glaze over. But when scientist Eric Lander looks at this he sees stories. ERIC LANDER (Whitehead Institute/MIT): The genome is a storybook that's been edited for a couple billion years. ROBERT KRULWICH: This is the story of one of the greatest scientific adventures ever, and at the heart of it is a small, very powerful molecule, DNA. For the past ten years, scientists all over the world have been painstakingly trying to read the tiny instructions buried inside our DNA. J. FRANCIS COLLINS (National Human Genome Research Institute): This is the ultimate imaginable thing that one could do scientifically...is to go and look at our own instruction book and then try to figure out what it's telling us. ROBERT KRULWICH: And what it's telling us is so surprising and so strange and so unexpected. I'm Robert Krulwich. DR.

Why Do So Many Have Trouble Believing In Evolution? : 13.7: Cosmos And Culture Sometimes the fossil record comes with teeth: Mapusaurus roseae on display in the "Dinosaurs of Gondwana" exhibit in 2009 at the National Museum of Nature and Science in Tokyo.

Junko Kimura/Getty Images Updated on Thursday at 1:15 p.m.: After reading your comments, I feel it's important to clarify a couple of points concerning human hereditary descent and horizontal gene transfer. The evidence is clear, as in a February 2009 Gallup Poll, taken on the eve of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birthday, that reported only 39 percent of Americans say they "believe in the theory of evolution," while a quarter say they do not believe in the theory, and another 36 percent don't have an opinion either way.

Genetic Updata Conferences | SamRhine.com National Center for Science Education - Defending the Teaching of Evolution in Public Schools. en español What is Evolution? In the biological sciences, evolution is a scientific theory that explains the emergence of new varieties of living things in the past and in the present; it is not a "theory of origins" about how life began. Evolution accounts for the striking patterns of similarities and differences among living things over time and across habitats through the action of biological processes such as natural selection, mutation, symbiosis, gene transfer, and genetic drift. Evolution has been subjected to scientific testing for over a century and has been (and continues to be) consistently confirmed by evidence from a wide range of fields. The National Center for Science Education is the only national organization devoted to defending the teaching of evolution in public schools. How to Learn about Evolution There are many excellent sources of basic background information on evolution. Another good starting point is this set of FAQs about evolution, from PBS.

MYCN v-myc myelocytomatosis viral related oncogene, neuroblastoma derived (avian) [Homo sapiens] - Gene result Exploring Genomics Data The Genomics Explorers provide an iterative way for students to choose strategies for asking and addressing biologically interesting questions using a range of genomics tools. Select which Explorer you wish to explore: The Genomics Explorer helps students: become inspired about biology develop a literature-based understanding of important quantitative approaches, define interesting questions that can be addressed with data, make connections between genes and their biological functions, analyze and critically evaluate bioinformatic data, connect bioinformatic analyses with wet lab and field experiments, develop and test a viable hypothesis by bringing together the literature, classroom knowledge, and analysis of data.
