DNA project to decode 'all complex life' on Earth

Image
A mission to sequence the genome of every known animal, plant, fungus and protozoan- a group of single-celled organisms is underway. The Earth BioGenome Project (EBP) has been described as a "moon shot for biology" and aiming to complete the work within a decade. A key aim is to use the information in efforts to conserve threatened species. Dr Jim Smith, director of science at the Welcome Trust described the mission as timely, adding that it was "incumbent upon human beings to raise awareness of biodiversity". From Reuters

Software and the Electrical Engineer 2

For better understanding and legibility read Software and Electrical Engineer ( previous article ) In part 1 we have seen about the basic logical operations done by electrical energy. In this part we are going to feel the data i.e. how the input data are transformed into electrical energy and how it is processed. First, we have to know what data is. Data is a collection of 0s and 1s in a particular sequence, refer part I for further clarity. According to our concept 0s and 1s are electrical signals and we have to store temporarily or permanently to process it, but how the electrical signals can be stored that too in a particular sequence, is it possible? Yes, it is but not as electrical energy but as magnetic energy. Electrical energy can be converted into magnetic energy and stored in magnetic tapes.energy can be converted into magnetic energy and stored in magnetic tapes. If you are born before 2000 you may have seen this magnetic tape, we use magnetic tape to rec...
