Study of Chickens May Help Understanding of Humans

And then, of course, we have the Standalone Server product, which is called Acronis True Image Server for Windows or Linux and that will manage a single standalone server. What type of computers can we back up, because in a medium to a large sized, even some small sized businesses, who knows what kind of computers they have They may have laptops, they may have desktops, they may just have anything and everything

Microsoft Dec 9, 2004 (AXcess News) Washington - Chickens and humans... on the surface, there do not appear to be many similarities. But at a news conference Wednesday, researchers said they believe that recent advances in the field of chicken genetics will help scientists solve human health problems.

Laptop Computers If you were to go back through your family tree some 300 million years, you would see that you and and the chickens you may roast for dinner share a common ancestor.

When you fire up your favorite web browser and type in the domain name of a website you want to view, the first thing that happens is that a request is sent to the server that is hosting that website. This server is found via the Domain Name Server (DNS) system, which associates the domain name (which we humans understand) and the address of the server that is hosting that website (which the computers understand). Once that request is received by the server, it looks at the files of the website to determine what happens next.

Laptop Computer It is this evolutionary link that has scientists excited about their increasing ability to understand a chicken's one billion DNA pairs, which is enabling scientists to learn from the genetic similarities between chickens and humans.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Desktop Computer Researcher Chris Ponting, an expert in genome analysis at Oxford University in Britain, explains that the genetic overlap between chickens and humans represents the small fraction a human's genetic make-up, or genome, that has been preserved for hundreds of millions of years.Mr. Ponting says 60 percent of human genes and chicken genes still bears some similarity, but the 2.5 percent of the human genome that still exactly matches the chicken genome must have been extremely important to human survival over the centuries.Advertisement

Notebooks "Among these is where we can now all look first when searching for DNA mutations linked to human disease," he explained.

Lenovo Research on the chicken genome, such as the work published in the most recent issue of the journal Nature, also helps scientists better understand chicken development for agricultural purposes. Such gains could help farmers produce chickens that lay more eggs or provide more meat and less fat.

Hard Drive And genetic researcher Jerry Dodgson of Michigan State University says that part of the research also has implications for human beings.

Travelstar "As genes are identified that contribute to fat deposition in broilers [chickens for roasting], we might look at the analogous human genes for influences on obesity," he noted.

Gateway He says similar research can be conducted on reproductive processes and disease resistance.Recent outbreaks of bird flu have increased scientists' desire to learn about the chicken genome. Bird flu is believed to have passed from birds to humans and killed more than 30 people in Vietnam and Thailand this year.Mr. Dodgson says studying various diseases in chickens might help researchers better understand related diseases in people.

Laptop Parts "The genome sequence is expected to help us discover genes that enhance natural resistance to infection in birds and to better understand and develop new vaccine strategies," he added.

Software Mr. Dodgson notes that such advances require years of additional research, but he adds that understanding the chicken genome makes that such research possible.Source: Voice of America
