HOX Transplants
If I understand correctly, the homeobox, or HOX, is a set
of 'like genes' centered on three chromosomes in the human
genome, that code for human morphology and shape.

There's no moon this year to obscure viewing.

I saw some nice animals in a zoo this week. The dutch word is
"stokstaartjes". Who does know the english word ? Who does know a good book
on these animals ?
Thanks,

when u have all the mRNAs of a cell extracted,what is the probable
method of isolating ur target mRNA which codes for ur protein of
interest(say, insulin)?

can we make a protien  inhibtor which inhibits the virus protien from
binding to  a cell.

I wrote last night about gaining the full genome of humans and
chimpanzees and orangutans and gorillas. Then of the subtraction process
to find the specific genes for bipedalism and for the genes of Throwing.
I was not as crisp and sharp of thought last night as I am this morning.
