Why Didn't Evolution Cause the Human Body to become Streamlined? No single advantage drives the evolution of body type. The advantage of streamlining is much greater for aquatic animals as water has a much greateer influence on viability. On land other concerns, defense, physical strength and size are at least as important. Most land animals don't even move quickly. |

How do proteins and genes participate in learning? Right now the neurophysiology of memories and feelings are hot and doing big things. Here is a blog post on erasing a fear memory in a mouse. cellularscale.blogspot.com/2012/04/… |

How do proteins and genes participate in learning? I would choose just one of these angles to take up first. Here's an online MIT class on learning and neuroscience ocw.mit.edu/courses/brain-and-cognitive-sciences/… |

What are Haplogroups? haplogroup can be an assumed relationship as well - where ethnic groupings may be assumed to have common regions of variants... (e.g. caucasian, east asian, ashkenazi jews, yoruban africans are commonly referenced haplo groups). |

Can two humans with 44 chromosomes produce viable offspring? If he did have 22 chromosome children sounds like they could start a new species! exciting if you like science fiction. |

ChIP-seq vs ChIP-exo just as a first pass I'd say the extra ligation and primer addition steps for CHP-exo might resolve fewer hits in a given run, though that might also make your results less noisy as well. |
