Download or read book Glowing Genes written by Marc Zimmer and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-04-06 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marc Zimmer has written the first popular science book on an amazing new area of biotechnology that will help fight cancer, create new products, improve agriculture, and combat terrorism. For more than one hundred and sixty million years, green fluorescent protein has existed in one species of jellyfish. In 1994 it was cloned, giving rise to a host of useful and potentially revolutionary applications in biotechnology. Today researchers are using this ancient glowing protein to pursue exciting new discoveries, from tracking the process of bacterial infection to detecting chemical and biological agents planted by terrorists.A recognized expert in this field, Zimmer begins with an overview of the many uses of these glowing genes to kill and image cancer cells, monitor bacterial infections, and light up in the presence of pollution. He then discusses the biological reasons that glowing proteins first evolved in jellyfish and fireflies, and looks at the history of bioluminescence and the dedicated scientists who devoted their careers to explaining this phenomenon. The story of how "glowing genes" were located, cloned, and then mass-produced is in itself a fascinating tale.Zimmer next turns to the serious, and not-so-serious, uses of fluorescent proteins. In agriculture it may soon be possible to produce crops that signal dryness by glowing. In industry a red fluorescent protein originally found in corals may find a use in sheep as a substitute for environmentally harmful wool dyes.Furthermore, the glowing gene revolution has led to significantly more humane treatment of laboratory animals. No longer must animal lives be sacrificed to understand disease processes; now researchers can observe the spread of cancer and infections by treating animals with green fluorescent genes and similar proteins.In the fight against terrorism a glowing gene has been created that lights up in the presence of anthrax spores, chemical warfare agents, and landmines. And in a completely different arena, we have already seen the emergence of "transgenic art" in Alba, the fluorescent bunny rabbit.Glowing Genes is a highly informative, fascinating, and entertaining read about a burgeoning area of biotechnology that promises soon to revolutionize our world.

Download or read book Spineless written by Juli Berwald and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A book full of wonders" —Helen Macdonald, author of H Is for Hawk "Witty, insightful. . . .The story of jellyfish. . . is a significant part of the environmental story. Berwald's engaging account of these delicate, often ignored creatures shows how much they matter to our oceans' future." —New York Times Book Review Jellyfish have been swimming in our oceans for well over half a billion years, longer than any other animal that lives on the planet. They make a venom so toxic it can kill a human in three minutes. Their sting—microscopic spears that pierce with five million times the acceleration of gravity—is the fastest known motion in the animal kingdom. Made of roughly 95 percent water, some jellies are barely perceptible virtuosos of disguise, while others glow with a luminescence that has revolutionized biotechnology. Yet until recently, jellyfish were largely ignored by science, and they remain among the most poorly understood of ocean dwellers. More than a decade ago, Juli Berwald left a career in ocean science to raise a family in landlocked Austin, Texas, but jellyfish drew her back to the sea. Recent, massive blooms of billions of jellyfish have clogged power plants, decimated fisheries, and caused millions of dollars of damage. Driven by questions about how overfishing, coastal development, and climate change were contributing to a jellyfish population explosion, Juli embarked on a scientific odyssey. She traveled the globe to meet the biologists who devote their careers to jellies, hitched rides on Japanese fishing boats to see giant jellyfish in the wild, raised jellyfish in her dining room, and throughout it all marveled at the complexity of these alluring and ominous biological wonders. Gracefully blending personal memoir with crystal-clear distillations of science, Spineless is the story of how Juli learned to navigate and ultimately embrace her ambition, her curiosity, and her passion for the natural world. She discovers that jellyfish science is more than just a quest for answers. It’s a call to realize our collective responsibility for the planet we share.

Chapter 1: The Mysterious Basement In the heart of a small town named Green Meadows, where the trees danced with the wind and the houses wore roofs as pointy as wizard hats, lived a young boy named Tim. Tim was an explorer at heart, much like his grandfather, Dr. Henry Goodwin, who was known far and wide for his scientific discoveries and mysterious adventures. One day, as Tim was playing in the old house where his grandfather once lived, he stumbled upon something extraordinary that would change his life forever. The house was a maze of memories, with each room telling stories of the past. But it was the basement, a place Tim had rarely ventured into, that held the biggest secret. Covered in dust and shadows, the basement was like a page out of an old storybook, waiting for someone brave enough to read it. That day, as Tim's curiosity got the better of him, he discovered a key with the label "basement" in the attic among his grandfather's belongings. With the key in his hand, feeling like a knight about to embark on a quest, Tim opened the basement door, which creaked as if whispering secrets. The basement was filled with relics of the past, but hidden behind an old bookshelf, Tim found a door that seemed to lead to nowhere. Or so he thought. The key he found fit perfectly into the lock, and with a turn, the door opened, revealing a staircase that spiraled down into the unknown. Tim's heart raced with excitement. Taking a deep breath, he stepped into the darkness, his flashlight cutting through the silence. What he found at the bottom of the stairs was beyond anything he could have imagined. A secret laboratory, untouched by time, lay before him. It was a treasure trove of scientific wonders, with gadgets and gizmos, maps of stars and lands unexplored. But among all these, what caught Tim's eye was a terrarium glowing with a mysterious light. Inside was a spider unlike any other, its body shimmering with a green, gamma light. Tim was mesmerized. The Gamma Spider, as he would come to call it, seemed to be waiting for him, as if it knew he was coming. Next to the terrarium, Tim found his grandfather's journal, which revealed the spider's origins. It was no ordinary spider, but a creature born from science and magic, part of his grandfather's quest to make the world a better place. As Tim read the journal, he realized that finding the Gamma Spider was no accident. It was his grandfather's legacy, passed down to him. The spider was not just a new friend but a companion on a journey that would take him on adventures beyond his wildest dreams. With the Gamma Spider by his side, Tim knew he was about to embark on a mission that would reveal secrets, test his courage, and show him the wonders of nature and science. This discovery in the mysterious basement was just the beginning. Together, Tim and the Gamma Spider would uncover mysteries, face challenges, and protect the environment, continuing the legacy of Dr. Henry Goodwin. It was a story of adventure, friendship, and the magic that lies in the quest for knowledge and the protection of our planet. Chapter 2: The Gamma Spider Once Tim had gotten over the initial shock and awe of discovering the Gamma Spider, he began to spend more time in his grandfather's secret laboratory, observing and learning about his new eight-legged friend. The Gamma Spider was not just any spider; it was special, very special indeed. Its body glowed with a soft, green light, illuminating the dark corners of the lab with a magical glow. Tim was fascinated by it, and day by day, he discovered more about the spider's incredible abilities. One of the first things Tim noticed was how the Gamma Spider could spin webs that were unlike any he had ever seen. These webs were not just ordinary spider silk; they were super strong, stronger than steel! Tim watched in amazement as the spider effortlessly spun its glowing web, creating patterns that sparkled in the dim light of the lab. He experimented gently, finding that the web could hold objects many times the spider's weight without breaking. It was like having a superhero right there in the basement, and Tim wondered at the possibilities such a web could offer.
