I am a computational biologist with a background in biology, not computers. My PhD work was on gene prediction and comparative genomics but my current research is in systems biology, specifically protein-protein interaction networks.

Multiple sequence alignment - how to align everything to 1 gene sequence? Could you please clarify your question? The reverse strand of a sequence is not alignable to the forward strand. Also, i don't understand what you mean by complete gene, forward and reverse sequences. Do you mean the genomic sequence, the transcribed transcript and the reverse complement of that transcript? |

Have there been any experiments that duplicate chromosome copies from 23*2 to 23*3 or 23*4? I have tried to edit your question. I still can't understand what you are asking. Do you believe that simply increasing ploidity will boost life span? |

Are genes associated with obesity selected for? There are reasons beyond aesthetics why obesity is dangerous. Do not confuse obesity with "chubbiness", the latter can indeed be quite healthy and confer a selective advantage. |

DAM enzyme distances move along the genome I am not sure about this but I believe there is not minimum or maximum distance. Each Dam protein will cut and then disassociate from the DNA. I don't think it moves along while remaining connected. If this is correct (again, I am not sure, not my field) then there will be no min/max distance between restriction sites. It will just float around until it finds another DNA molecule and cut the first site it finds. This could be adjacent to the previous one or kilobases away. |

Do effects of caffeine on human body change with habitual use? While not an opioid, caffeine IS most certainly a drug (not sure what you mean by narcotic). It is also quite addictive as I can state from personal experience, but if that is no enough see, for example, here. In any case, it is certainly more addictive than many narcotics. |

How is evolution possible in contemporary humans? @yotiao, you're quite right of course. That's what I mean by "active selection is not the only mechanism of evolution" and it was also mentioned in DQdlM's answer below. |

The probability of indirect human fertilization? Strictly speaking of course, this is not an answer to the question but still, +1 :). |

Is there any biological reason for humans to rest after x days of work? Don't forget, humans rest every day when sleeping. Whether you are at work or not, your body is still active, still "working". |
