Why DNA? : From DNA Sequence to Biological Complexity
Information is central to the evolution of biological complexity, a physical system relying on a continuous supply of energy.Biology provides superb examples of the consequent Darwinian selection of mechanisms for efficient energy utilisation.Genetic information, underpinned by the Watson-Crick base-pairing rules is largely encoded by DNA, a molecule uniquely adapted to its roles in information storage and utilisation.This volume addresses two fundamental questions.Firstly, what properties of the molecule have enabled it to become the predominant genetic material in the biological world today and secondly, to what extent have the informational properties of the molecule contributed to the expansion of biological diversity and the stability of ecosystems.The author argues that bringing these two seemingly unrelated topics together enables Schrödinger's What is Life?, published before the structure of DNA was known, to be revisited and his ideas examined in the context of our current biological understanding.

Journalism and Digital Labor : Experiences of Online News Production
This book investigates journalists’ work practices, professional ideologies, and the power relations that impact their work, arguing that reporters’ lives and livelihoods are shaped by digital technologies and new modes of capital accumulation. Tai Neilson weaves together ethnographic approaches and critical theories of digital labor.Journalists’ experiences are at the heart of the book, which is based on interviews with news workers from Aotearoa New Zealand and the United States.The book also adopts a critical approach to the political economy of news across global and local contexts, digital start-ups, legacy media, nonprofits, and public service organizations.Each chapter features key debates illustrated by journalists’ personal narratives. This book will be of great interest to researchers and students of journalism, media and communication, cultural studies, and the sociology of work.

How secure is the online DNA test?
Online DNA tests have security measures in place to protect the privacy and security of the user's genetic information. These measures include encryption of data, secure storage of genetic data, and strict access controls. However, no system is completely immune to security breaches, so there is always a risk of unauthorized access to genetic information. It's important for users to carefully review the privacy and security policies of the DNA testing company before deciding to take the test.

Does dinosaur DNA cross with human DNA?
No, dinosaur DNA does not cross with human DNA. This is because dinosaurs and humans are from completely different evolutionary lineages and are separated by millions of years of evolution. Additionally, dinosaur DNA has not been found intact, as it degrades over time, making it impossible to cross with human DNA. Therefore, there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that dinosaur DNA can cross with human DNA.

What can DNA companies do with my DNA?
DNA companies can use your DNA for a variety of purposes, including ancestry testing, genetic health risk assessments, and research. They may also share your genetic data with third-party partners for research and development purposes, as well as for law enforcement purposes in the case of criminal investigations. It's important to carefully review the privacy policies of DNA companies to understand how your genetic information may be used and shared.

What is DNA, what is DNA made of, and what are the functions of DNA?
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA is made up of two long chains of nucleotides twisted into a double helix. Each nucleotide consists of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The functions of DNA include storing and transmitting genetic information, providing the instructions for building and maintaining an organism, and allowing for the inheritance of traits from one generation to the next.

Understanding DNA Ancestry
DNA ancestry companies generate revenues in the region of $1bn a year, and the company 23andMe is said to have sold 10 million DNA ancestry kits to date.Although evidently popular, the science behind how DNA ancestry tests work is mystifying and difficult for the general public to interpret and understand.In this accessible and engaging book, Sheldon Krimsky, a leading researcher, investigates the methods that different companies use for DNA ancestry testing.He also discusses what the tests are used for, from their application in criminal investigations to discovering missing relatives.With a lack of transparency from companies in sharing their data, absent validation of methods by independent scientists, and currently no agreed-upon standards of accuracy, this book also examines the ethical issues behind genetic genealogy testing, including concerns surrounding data privacy and security.It demystifies the art and science of DNA ancestry testing for the general reader.

McArthur Binion: DNA
An intimate minimalism: McArthur Binion’s permutational uses of abstraction, collage and autobiographyChicago-based painter McArthur Binion (born 1946) combines collage, drawing and painting to create autobiographical abstractions.He paints minimalist grids and patterns over copies of his personal documents and photographs, including pages from his handwritten address book and his birth certificate, as well as images of his childhood home and photographs of his hands.This book explores Binion’s DNA series and includes reproductions of more than 80 of his paintings and works on paper, as well as essays investigating this series through the lens of art history, labor, music and writing. Offering in-depth formal analysis and contextualizing his trajectory within the interdisciplinary cultural scenes of New York and Chicago, McArthur Binion: DNA provides insight into the rigorous and experimental spirit that has defined the artist's larger practice and illuminates his place within a critical history of abstraction in the 20th and 21st centuries.

What is DNA?
DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule that contains the genetic instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all living organisms. It is composed of two strands that coil around each other to form a double helix structure. DNA carries the genetic information in the form of genes, which are segments of DNA that code for specific proteins or traits. This genetic material is passed down from parents to offspring and is responsible for the diversity and inheritance of traits in all living organisms.

Who discovered DNA?
The discovery of DNA is attributed to multiple scientists, but the most famous discovery is often credited to James Watson and Francis Crick. In 1953, they proposed the double helix structure of DNA, which revolutionized our understanding of genetics. However, it's important to note that the understanding of DNA was built upon the work of many scientists, including Rosalind Franklin, Maurice Wilkins, and others who contributed to the discovery of DNA's structure.

What is the difference between DNA hybridization and DNA sequencing?
DNA hybridization is a technique used to determine the similarity between two DNA sequences by allowing them to bind together based on complementary base pairing. This method provides information on the degree of similarity between the sequences. On the other hand, DNA sequencing is a technique used to determine the exact order of nucleotides in a DNA molecule. This method provides the precise sequence of the DNA, allowing for detailed analysis of genetic information.

How much does human DNA differ between different DNA groups?
Human DNA differs by less than 0.1% between different DNA groups. This means that the vast majority of our DNA is the same across all human populations. The small differences that do exist are what make each individual unique, but they are relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. These differences can be attributed to factors such as genetic mutations and natural selection.
