The Pleistocene (symbol "PS") is the geological epoch which lasted from about 2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago, spanning the world’s recent period of repeated glaciations.
The Pleistocene is the first epoch of the Quaternary Period or sixth epoch of the Cenozoic Era.
The end of the Pleistocene corresponds with the end of the last glacial period. It also corresponds with the end of the Paleolithic age used in archaeology.
In the ICS timescale, the Pleistocene is divided into four stages or (...)

integrative cancer genomics
6 January 2013integrative oncogenomics; integrative oncogenetics
Integrating results from diverse experiments is an essential process in our effort to understand the logic of complex systems, such as development, homeostasis and responses to the environment. With the advent of high-throughput methods - including genome-wide association studies (GWAS), chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) - acquisition of genome-scale data has never been easier.

1 August 2012hominins
The Hominini is a tribe of the subfamily Homininae; it comprises three subtribes:
Hominina, with its one genus Homo;
Australopithecina, comprising several extinct genera (see taxobox);
Panina, with its one genus Pan, the chimpanzees.
Members of the human clade, that is, the Hominini, including Homo and those species of the australopithecines that arose after the split from the chimpanzees, are called hominins.

gene patenting
17 February 2007Studies A study published in Nature Biotechnology states that while patent offices in Europe and in Japan have “only granted between 3 percent and 5 percent of patent applications,” the US is granting “far more of these patents.”
A study shows that around 20 percent of all known human genes have been patented. Those data were published by MIT researchers Fiona Murray and Kyle Jensen in Science in 2005. Using a bioinformatic model to compare patented nucleotide sequences to the human genome, (...) -
