Book excerpt: When a family secret comes to light, lives are changed forever in this honest, beautiful, and sometimes painful memoir. When Mark, adopted at birth, set out to FIND his genetic family as an adult, he found something he never expected-three full-blood siblings, including a persistent sister who would alter the course of his life. He finds himself faced with the emotional task of coming to know his entire birth family, along with the unintended impact it has on his parents and his marriage. This raises age-old questions around the understanding of his own identity and his place in the world-now framed in extraordinarily real and explicit terms: What defines family? Nature or nurture? Life rarely affords such an opportunity for self-examination. The story focuses on the relationship that develops between Mark and his sister, Rachel, as they discover each other through constant letters and eventual face-to-face meetings. When Rachel learns that Mark and his wife are struggling with having children, a radical idea takes over-could she, a sister he never knew and still barely knows, one who lives on the other side of the country, possibly carry their child? Would they trust her to? Including original correspondence between Rachel, Mark, and their biological mother, Marilyn, Love & Genetics follows the events of a tumultuous year in an astonishing story of love, loss, and the meaning of family.

Download or read book God Believes in Love written by Gene Robinson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-06-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the IX Bishop of the Diocese of New Hampshire in the Episcopal Church, the first openly gay person elected to the episcopate and the world’s leading religious spokesperson for gay rights and gay marriage—a groundbreaking book that persuasively makes the case for same-sex marriage using a commonsense, reasoned, religious argument. Robinson holds the religious text of the Bible to be holy and sacred and the ensuing two millennia of church history to be relevant to the discussion. He is equally familiar with the secular and political debate about gay marriage going on in America today, and is someone for whom same-sex marriage is a personal issue; Robinson was married to a woman for fourteen years and is a father of two children and has been married to a man for the last four years of a twenty-five-year relationship. Robinson has a knack for taking complex and controversial issues and addressing them in plain direct language, without using polemics or ideology, putting forth his argument for gay marriage, and bringing together sacred and secular points of view.
Download or read book Time Love Memory written by Jonathan Weiner and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Nobel Prize–winning discoveries regarding the molecular mechanisms controlling the body’s circadian rhythm. How much of our fate is decided before we are born? Which of our characteristics is inscribed in our DNA? Weiner brings us into Benzer's Fly Rooms at the California Institute of Technology, where Benzer, and his asssociates are in the process of finding answers, often astonishing ones, to these questions. Part biography, part thrilling scientific detective story, Time, Love, Memory forcefully demonstrates how Benzer's studies are changing our world view--and even our lives. Jonathan Weiner, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for The Beak of the Finch, brings his brilliant reporting skills to the story of Seymour Benzer, the Brooklyn-born maverick scientist whose study of genetics and experiments with fruit fly genes has helped revolutionize or knowledge of the connections between DNA and behavior both animal and human.
Download or read book The Love Gene written by Lewis Kornfeld and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-03-24 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Cathy Cox’s husband Donald deserts her, leaving her alone to support their daughter Lilith, Cathy is determined to stick with her satisfying job as an art director at a large New York City ad agency and have nothing more to do with men. She rears Lilith with the same mind-set: the awareness that most men are interested in “making out” than in making do with companionship and honorable intentions. However, very gradually, both find men in their future no matter how diligently they try to avoid them. Red-headed Lilith follows her blond mother into the advertising agency business, although her talent is copywriting rather than art. Her first novel — “The Ladies’ Room” — written as her Hunter College thesis, becomes the plot of a movie, the re-write task of Poet Jason Greenberg, and a source of pre-publication income almost beyond belief. A succession of unanticipated income streams from client contacts and family inheritances makes Lilith a virtual millionaire in a single 1990s year and at age 24, to everyone’s amazement and the more modest enrichment of more than a few associates. As the action rotates between New York, California and France, Lilith’s sexuality goes from dormant to off-the-wall. Meanwhile, her mother Cathy drifts erratically from desertion to a long-time loveless affair, then toward the real thing when her long lost husband turns up found, but.... Readers are advised not to ask what comes after the “but.... ” because Mr. Kornfeld won’t tell, at least not on this cover!

Download or read book Genetics and Biotechnology of Bacilli Volume 2 written by A.T. Ganesan and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Genetics and Biotechnology of Bacilli, Volume 2 is a collection of papers from the "Fourth International Conference on Bacilli" held in California on June 21-24, 1987. One paper reviews the results of cloning and characterization of genes for secreted enzyme and of genes that control the expression of secreted enzymes in relation with other prokaryotic regulatory systems. Other papers tackle the regulation of gene expression during sporulation, the sigma factors, bacterial toxins, and antibiotic resistance genes. One paper reports that three genes responsible for the code for peptides found in BT cuboidal crystals have been successfully cloned. The three codes have different toxic characteristics in relation to tobacco hornworm larvae or mosquito larvae. Other papers examine replication. Such examination pertains to the two levels of control on the chromosome involved in DNA replication, or to the possible functional importance that several membranes associated DNA subcomplexes can have in Bacillus subtilis, where one of these appear to control initiation. Other papers discus secretion and extracellular enzymes, as well as, the different genetic systems and methods. This collection can prove beneficial for biochemists, micro-biologists, cellular researchers, and academicians involved in the study of cellular biology, microchemistry, or toxicology.
Download or read book The Love Genes written by Claudia J. Severin and published by Pella Road Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-15 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DNA didn’t lie. Somebody did. I always knew where I came from. The Schulz family tree was populated with conscientious, hard-working moral citizens. So why were these so-called cousins claiming my ancestors had secret babies one hundred years ago? I had to prove these allegations were false to protect my family’s name. Even if it meant traveling hundreds of miles to interrogate unknown relatives. Even if it meant finding a heart-stopping man who might be the perfect combination of genetic material from all our common pedigrees. His DNA would solve the mystery. His love would steal my heart. Part Historical and part Contemporary Romance, the Love Genes bridges the gap between generations born in two centuries using the science of DNA testing to reveal past assignations.

Download or read book Gene Environment Interplay in Interpersonal Relationships across the Lifespan written by Briana N. Horwitz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intriguing new findings on how genes and environments work together through different stages of life take the spotlight in this significant collection. Studies from infancy to late adulthood show both forces as shaping individuals' relationships within family and non-family contexts, and examine how these relationships, in turn, continue to shape the individual. Transitional periods, in which individuals become more autonomous and relationships and personal identities become more complicated, receive special emphasis. In addition, chapters shed light on the extent to which the quantity and quality of genetic and environmental influence may shift across and even within life stages. Included in the coverage: Gene-environment interplay in parenting young children. The sibling relationship as a source of shared environment. Gene-environment transactions in childhood and adolescent problematic peer relationships. Toward a developmentally sensitive and genetically informed perspective on popularity. Spouse, parent, and co-worker: roles and relationships in adulthood. The family system as a unit of clinical care: the role of genetic systems. Behavioral geneticists, clinical psychologists, and family therapists will find in Gene-Environment Interplay in Interpersonal Relationships across the Lifespan a window into current thinking on the subject, new perspectives for understanding clients and cases, and ideas for further study.

This book was released on 2019-03-22 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For as much as we know about DNA and gene expression, many more mysteries remain to be solved. Epigenetics and epigenomics seek to study heritable modifications in gene expression that do not involve underlying DNA sequences to further human health changes. Examining the Causal Relationship Between Genes, Epigenetics, and Human Health provides innovative research methods and applications of chemical activation or deactivation of genes without altering the original DNA sequence. While highlighting topics including gene expression, personalized medicine, and public policy, this book is ideal for researchers, geneticists, biologists, medical professionals, students, and academics seeking current research on the expanding fields of genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, pharmacogenomics, and genome-wide association studies.
