走在生命的旋梯上——记詹姆斯·沃森

说起人类基因组,就不能不讲DNA;说到DNA,就不免想像它的双螺旋结构,就一定会去追寻那些首先攀上生命之梯的高大身影——詹姆斯·沃森、弗兰西斯·克里克、莫里斯·威尔金斯。 DNA双螺旋结构的发现被称为20世纪最伟大的科学成果之一。为此,沃森、克里克、威尔金斯获得了1962年的诺贝尔生理与医学奖。 究竟是什么样的契机、什么样     

遗传学解题指导之正推法和逆推法

在这几年的高考题目中,遗传学的内容是一个重点,占有较高的分数。本文就以这几年高考中出现的几道分值很高遗传学的题目为例,简要向大家介绍一种高考中常用到的并且很实用的遗传学解题方法——正推法和逆推法。     

关于中医药治疗精神抑郁症的研究

中药治疗精神病,有古可考,疗效肯定。从整体观念上用辩证施治,因人而异,个体化治疗。人的大脑的思维活动不是孤立存在,独立完成的,它所支配的精神活动是由五脏六腑,四肢百骸,整体之阳上汇于头的集中性升华性体现,舍藏治脑,是治疗精神病的误区,必须平衡阴阳,疗程以平为期。西药的千篇一律,中成药的万人一方,都是片面的。     

Genetics in medical school curriculum： A look at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry

Genetics is assuming an increasingly important role in medicine. As a result, the teaching of genetics should also be increased proportionally to ensure that future physicians will be able to take advantage of the new genetic technology, and to understand the associated ethical, legal and social issues. At the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, we have been able to incorporate genetic education into a four-year medical curriculum in a fully integrated fashion. This model may serve as a template for other medical curriculum still in development.     

浅析生物遗传学教学改革的“教”与“学”

随着社会对生物细胞等关于人类基因发展的深入研究，生物遗传学得到了快速的发展，体现在高校教学中就是教学改革的深入。作为高校教学科目之一的生物遗传学在教学过程中有其特殊性，笔者先从生物遗传学教改前的问题分析其改革的必然，进而阐述生物遗传学教学改革后，“教”和“学”所带来的新气象，从而说明高校生物遗传学的教学改革是教学发展的必然，有利于素质教育的发展和创新性人才的培养。     

Genome-wide association analyses provide genetic and biochemical insights into natural variation in rice metabolism

With the support by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, Prof. Luo Jie and his colleagues from the National Key Laboratory of Crop C-enetic Improvement, Huazhong Agricultural University, published their research findings in an article ＂Genomewide association analyses provide genetic and biochemical insights into natural variation in rice metabolism＂ in Nature Genetics （2014, 46（7）： 714-721）.     

科普新知

手机成瘾者或被归为精神障碍患者如果时隔几分钟就想看一眼手机,如果你离开手机一会就感觉坐立难安,那么你很有可能换上了手机成瘾症。这不仅影响人们的身体健康,还会影响到人们的日常生活。新加坡格伦伊格尔斯医疗中心精神病学家王安德（Adrian Wang）指出,病人产生焦虑的情绪时,大多会通过登陆社交媒体来缓解他们的压力。以前人们多沉迷于网络游戏,而今痴迷于社交媒体和下载视频的人越来越多,这或将成为当今时代的主流趋势。     

Assessment of genetic diversity in the forest musk deer （Moschus berezovskii） using microsatellite and AFLP markers

Microsatellite genotyping and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) techniques are often utilized in studies of conservation genetics of endangered animals. To select a more effective marker system for conserving the endangered forest musk deer, we used microsatellite and AFLP markers to estimate levels of genetic diversity of two populations, the pure mother Jinfengshan (JFS) group and the offspring Baisha (BS) group with introduction of new blood. It was expected that JFS would pos- sess significa...     

A moth genome provides insights into herbivory and detoxification

Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China,Prof.You Minsheng at Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University and his colleagues published their scientific findings in an article entitled＂A heterozygous moth genome provides insights into herbivory and detoxification＂in Nature Genetics（2013,45（2）：220—5）.     

追寻“我们是谁”的年轻学者——访复旦大学生命科学学院人类学系教授李辉

在采访李辉以前,就久闻其名,作为国际人类学研究知名学者、复旦大学金力教授的高足,李辉的名字因着他们的一系列前沿研究这些年时常出现在专业杂志并通过大众传媒的报道而广为人知;后来知道他出国一段时间做博士后研究,二年多前回复旦,去年又因为在曹操后人的身份鉴定问题上,他们从分子遗传学角度给出了确凿的证据,而再度受关注。欣闻李辉去年入选上海市科技启明星
