It is the blueprint that contains the instructions for building an organism, and no understanding of genetic function or evolution could be complete without obtaining this information.
During chemo and radiation, your body is assaulted with free radicals, which damage DNA (cellular "blueprints" that contain vital instructions) and mitochondria (energy factories in your cells).
Putting into question the fund's involvement in the bailout, the report paints a far darker picture of Greece's public finances than that contained in the blueprint released at the end of the marathon eurozone leaders' summit on Monday.
It was known that mitochondria were the only sites outside the nucleus of the cell that contained DNA, the genetic blueprint for life.
A gene is part of our DNA that contains the blueprint for making proteins, such as hormones, enzymes or raw building materials.
Buck's first breakthrough came in 1991 when, as a senior postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University's College of Physicians & Surgeons, she and her mentor, Richard Axel, identified the genes that contain the blueprints for the receptors in the nose that identify odors.
Both firms were among the first to use computerized databases to scan the genome the "map" or blueprint of 25,000 or so active genes that contain the code for the body's proteins.
That's not exactly what the chapter is about, though — more like about the operational incapability of the C.I.A. Risen reports on operation Merlin, a special-access program in which the plan was to get a Russian nuclear scientist to pass blueprints for a nuclear weapons component to Iranians — blueprints that would contain a hidden flaw.
They — and 15 to 20 other volunteers — gather one Saturday a month to pan for historical gold in the extensive files of Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, files that contain thousands of faded, yellowing letters, telegrams, sketches and blueprints.
