The fact that cells with identical genome can have plentiful phenotypic choices suggests a decisive role of epigenetic regulation in selective gene expression and therefore the biological activities at a cell type-specific manner in multi-cellular organisms. In addition to covalent chemical modifications of DNA and the core histones,展开更多

From the numerous geographic adventures organized in the past thousand years came only the brief knowledge of the outline of the land and ocean; with the scientific explorations and topographic mapping activities done in the 300-plus years that followed, only about 30% of the land got mapped. But things have been changed greatly since the beginning of the century, when the air planes were put into use for mapping: up to 1950’s, the mapped areas had gone up to 70%; From 1957, a series of resource and environment satellites have been launched one after another,observing the globe, giving coverage of it and providing endlessly varieties of information about the seas and the lands day and night.展开更多

An old granny has prepared a tableful of dishes, waiting for her sons and daughters to come back home to enjoy. But, one after another, her sons and daughters called back, saying that they are unable to return home, because either of working overtime or dining out with friends. The old woman is so tired that she has fallen fast asleep by the table against a background of a grandmother clock ticking away.展开更多
