Dna

You are probably aware that a person's DNA provides a great amount of useful information to scientists, including the origins of all human beings. The National Geographic Society joined efforts with IBM and started a new exciting global project. The project is aimed at collecting a database based on thousands of DNA tests. The project is to attract 10,000 inhabitants. Best specialists in the field of geography and genetic medicine will settle and work in 10 regions of the world to research on the human ancestry.

this is very exciting. and i am actually researching DNA extraction in extinct animals for my AP Biology class and have a few questions.

what have learned about your samples so far?
i have read that there are many ways of doing this how do you go about it?
how fast does a centrifuge need to spin to seperate the particles?
what do you think are some disadvantages of this discovery?

Please, please e-mail me back it will greatly help me and would be greatly appreicated. thanks :)

I believe that the ability to reserect past extinct animals is very insightful. with every advancement in modern technology we achieve further capabilities that will i believe help modern day humans unlock the mysteries of the everexpanding subject of science.

Quote: "After she got married she shared her secret with Bruce Anderson, her husband. But due to some intimacy problems she and her husband divorced."

Women, if you have balls, you really need to disclose that to your man BEFORE you marry him. Just goes to show you that you can't trust women for anything.

Maybe, you can use theconcept of index of refraction where two materials should have the same index of refraction so there will be no bending of light.

clearly you havent heard of Dr. Mello's nobel winning research on RNAi. as a test subject, he used this transparent worm (I'm currently looking up the name of it) which had many of the organs humans do, which make them excellent test subjects. its true that if we chart out the human evolution, we'd see that one of them would branch out to become what is a worm today. what is our nervous system is probably altered for the modern worm due to the drastic conditions the two live in. you have to remember though, the ancestor wasnt last generation: the two have been changing themselves to adapt to different, yet ever changing conditions for millions upon millions of years.
