There are over 30,000 genes in the human body. In 2001 the Human Genome Project, a consortium of over 1000 scientists worldwide, finished sifting through the 3 billion bits of DNA in each human cell to map the ordering all of the human genes. The next phase is an interpretation phase, which will take a lot longer, to work out what each gene is and does. To create effective gene therapies, your own personal treatment based on what each gene is and does, will take even longer.

The current consensus predicts about 20,000-25,000 genes, but not all genome scientists agree. For more information, see the Web page that addresses this question.

A good starting point for delving into the scientific literature is "The Human Inheritance: Genes Language and Evolution" edited by Bryan Sykes and published by Oxford University Press in 1999. This contains eight essays by leading academics on all aspects of the revolution in understanding the past that has been triggered by developments in genetics. It is edited for a general readership and there is an extensive bibliography.

Lutein is present in the eye, serum, skin, cervix, brain and breast. Within the eye, lutein is highly concentrated in the macular region of the retina and is dispersed in lesser amounts throughout the entire retina, ciliary iris bodies and lens.

Humans mainly consist of water; it is in all our organs and in is transported throughout our body to assist physical functions. When a human does not absorb enough water, dehydration is the result. This is not very surprising, given that 66% of the human body consists of water.

Avoid putting Oil of Oreganol P73 in your eyes. Oil of Oregano P73 should not be put into the ear canals. Avoid contact with genital area (contact on mucus membranes can cause burning/heat sensation).

Historically, it has been estimated that there are roughly 6000 total genes in the yeast genome, of which 5885 were estimated to encode proteins. These estimates were based on the sequencing of the yeast genome (see Mewes et al. and Goffeau et al.). The addition of 354 previously unannotated ORFs, based on published information from various sources including: Brachat et al., Kessler et al., Kumar et al., and Oshiro et al.. To see the complete list of the new ORFs, click here.

One of the reasons that Aesta’s Far Infrared Radiant Heat has beneficial results in a variety of illnesses is because FIR can deeply penetrate skin and underlying tissues. When Far Infrared Radiant Heat penetrates the skin, it comes into contact with protein, collagen and fats. By stimulating micro-vibrations, FIR can elevate tissue temperatures. The human body then is revitalized because of the improved micro circulation.

It varies with the equipment used, but the cremation time for the equipment installed at Birkenau appears to have required an incineration time of about an hour per body. The entire cremation cycle took longer and each oven, or retort, could reduce three or four bodies per day under normal operating circumstances. Birkenau had a total of 46 ovens so the capacity would have been 184 bodies per day if all of the facilities were operating at once. This, however, was not the case.

Melatonin regulates biological rhythms such as the sleep/wake cycle. It also acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals, the toxic by-products of normal cell metabolism.* Melatonin is one of the most useful and versatile substances produced in the body.

The human body clock is a complex internal mechanism that serves to regulate our body's functions over time. It is controlled by the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a tiny cluster of nerve cells in an area of the brain known as the hypothalamus. This body clock helps regulate breathing and heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, hormone production, and other vital bodily functions.

Human Growth Hormone stimulates virtually all of the various systems in your body. The hormone increases your metabolism helping to break down fat, build proteins, and create lean muscle. Human Growth Hormone is often referred to as the "fountain of youth hormone" due to its youth-promoting benefits.

Oxygen is the most vital ingredient to health and vitality. Since our bodies need oxygen to live, it is natural that the quality and quantity of oxygen should largely affect our beauty and health. Oxygen we inhale is delivered to all of the body's organs and cells and will produce energy to conduct various life activities. Oxygen is necessary and essential to life activities rather than just good for health.

Every organ of the body has its own set of electrical signals. This electrical activity has been extensively tested and measured in many organs of the body, the heart (EKGs) and the brain (EEGs). Furthermore, each and every organ has its own set of electrical signals. How does that relate to magnets? If you place a magnetic field in the vicinity of an electrical current, that electrical current will be amplified by the magnetic field.

No. It seems clear that human beings are the most flexible and adaptable creatures on earth, capable of choosing their own destiny. At the same time, it is also clear that there is a definite genetic influence on many aspects of our behavior, especially when it comes to sex, violence, parenting, even tendencies for altruism and selfishness. The more we understand that influence, the more free we are to chart our own course.

SW stands for Swiss-Prot, TR stands for TrEMBL and WP stands for WormPep. In case you're not familiar with any of theses protein databases you can go to: http://www.expasy.org/sprot/ and http://www.sanger.ac.uk/Projects/C_elegans/wormpep/ for an explanation and access to them. Inside Protein SW or Protein TR, you may find the accession number of Swiss-Prot or TrEMBL. You can get all details of the protein (including species origin..) by going to http://www.expasy.

GO terms have been associated with a non-redundant set of human proteins described in SWISS-PROT/TrEMBL/InterPro and Ensembl. These annotations are available in the GOA-Human file on the EBI and GO FTP sites. GOA project data are also accessible from Ensembl and from the EMBL/DDBJ/GenBank nucleotide sequences stored at EMBL-Bank. For more information about browsing GOA project data at EBI, see the EBI's GOA page.

Do you know the chemical composition of the human body? Here's the list of elements, given in percentage according to weight.

This is a very common error. Medical nanorobots need not EVER replicate. In fact, it is unlikely that the FDA (or its future equivalent) would ever approve for general use a medical nanodevice that was capable of in vivo replication. Except in the most unusual of circumstances, you would never want anything that could replicate itself to be turned loose inside your body. Replicating bacteria are trouble enough! Replication is a crucial basic capability for molecular manufacturing.

Yes, our bodies are constantly absorbing toxins from both external and internal sources. External sources include polluted air and water, bacteria and viruses, chemicals and pesticides, food additives and bacteria in food and magnetic waves. Internal sources are wastes from our body’s metabolic processes, excessive body fats or sugar, and stress.

Typically the average person is able to run about 25% efficiency. This means that for every Watt produced by a bike generator, the person doing the pedaling is putting out 4 Watts. So if you are pedaling to provide to your laptop computer at 80 Watts, you body is really running at 240 Watts.

Spirulina contains all the nutrients that the human body needs. A deficiency of any of these nutrients would compromise the proper functioning of our body. There are several peer reviewed scientific studies about spirulina's ability to inhibit viral reproduction, strengthen both the cellular and humoral arms of the immune system, and cause regression and inhibition of cancers.

This is nose-brain association, where a scent is picked up and the scent is being send to the Limbic Brain (System). The Limbic Brain is the part of the brain that interprets the scent and stir up memory. These scent will affect the moods of the person whereby it can relax, calm, arouse, excite or brings back a memory of the person exposed to the smell or scent. The skin is one of the largest organ in the human body.

They damage healthy cell walls, reduce the energy producing capability of the mitochondria in the cells, and even damage the DNA in the cell nucleus.

Ans: Since the transmission power of a WLAN device is much lower than a mobile phoneâ€"a typical WLAN device transmits at about 60 to 70 mW, while a typical mobile phone transmits at about 200 mWâ€"and since the WLAN device is normally not used near the human body as does a mobile phone, so the risk from the WLAN is comfortably lower than from a mobile phone.

While extensive testing has been done on how heat affects the body, it appears that studies involving cooling the body and how it affects the body are just beginning to be implemented. heat related incidents involving athletics and the elderly continue to be in the news, it is certain more testing will follow.
