Excessive heat or cold. But summer, winter are coming every year from
million years. If evolution theory is correct, human body should have
developed mechanism to absorb such temperature variation.
But we can not go out in heat. Streets get deserted in afternoon. Our

I'm looking around for a huge database of bioinformatic algorithms
(perhaps in pseudocode or in a normal written form) for a long time.
Could anyone say my where I could find something like that?

When mRNA is translated into proteins, anticodons have to attach to the
codons, which then connect amino acids to the mRNA. This seems
incredibly inefficient to me. Resources and energy could be saved if
the amino acids could directly attach to the codons (and not use

There has never been direct observable evidence of prion molecule
replication. I have been discussing the Prusiner Model for 10 years now
and find it very much flawed and in error.
There are many diseases of a similar category. They are Alzheimers,

Thanks.

events in the history of life. The list that I've come up with is:

We're teaching our soon-to-be 5th grader at home, and I'm looking for a
good introduction to biology for him.  I'm looking for something that
gives a good, broad overview of biology.  Ideally a book I can go
through with him, supplementing with various resources, and

I am pretty tired now but a question keeps popping up. I was reflecting
back to the history of the AIDS virus and its transmission. It was
first known as the disease for blood transfusion and homosexual. The
