Re:"No."
I posted this in reply to another post, below. Yeah, I know that makes it redundant, but I believe this is relevant to both discussions, and I don't know how to direct you to that post.
A DNA sample is taken of every child born in the US, to test for potential genetic diseases. The original specimen is stored for a period of time, based on state laws. Here are some citations:

Slack mirroBeing an official Slackware mirror and probably the only one that makes -current ISOs (last one made 09/17), seems like I need to make ISOs tomorrow for this RC 2 release.
Slack rocks!

Go fuck yourself.
You stupid, drunken, shitskin wannabe. Fuck you and all your red kind. You are some of the dumbest motherfuckers the planet has ever seen. A red bastard calling someone a redneck, how the hell did that happen? Shouldn't you be eating some peyote, getting liquored up, and not going to look for work right about now?
I've got a blanket for you, dumbfuck. -

Re:Huh?What's sad is that somebody can't use Google and find information I learned in 6th grade biology. Yes, I understand that merely popping a cell isn't stripping off the method of locomotion, but it essentially impairs it as the outer cell coat pops. And I also understand that many viruses are just drifters and floaters and some are stretchy-creepers, but I figured a more active virus model would be easierto comprehend. http://www.virology.net/Big_Virology/BVHomePage.h

Microtubules: Cilia and Flagella - Structure and Function
General features - hairlike, motile organelles; project from eukaryote surface
Cilia (oar) move cell in direction perpendicular to them - rigid in power stroke, flexible in recovery
1.In multicellular organisms, move fluid & particulate material through various tracts
2. Occur in large numbers on cell surface, beating activity coordinated
B. Flagella - fewer on cell surface; those present longer; show beating pattern variety (waveforms)
1. Single-celled alga - pulls itself forward (waves 2 flagellae in asymmetric manner like breast stroke); pushes itself through medium with symmetric beat like that of sperm
2. In sperm, beat undulatory (>1 wave at a time along flagellum length); generates force pushing cell in direction parallel to flagellum long axis http://www2.oakland.edu/biology/lindemann/cf.htmWHAT ARE CILIA AND FLAGELLA?
Cilia and flagella are whip-like appendages of many living cells that are used to move fluid or to propel the cells. Cilia beat with an oar-like motion and flagella have a snake-like motion as illustrated in Figure 1. The cilia in your lungs keep dirt and dust from clogging your breathing tubes (the bronchi) by moving a layer of sticky mucous along to clean out the airways. Sperm cells use a flagellum as a propeller to move the cell through the fluid of the oviduct to reach the egg. Thousands of animals and plants use cilia and flagella for swimming (example: paramecium), or feeding (example: clams and mussels) or mating (example: green algae). It is a curious fact that all of these cilia and flagella have a very similar internal arrangement of tubes (the outer doublets) and protein connectors (the nexin links and dynein arms) that suggest that there is something very special about this particular way of building a cell propeller. Figure 2 is a diagram of these internal parts of a cilium. Nature tends to keep designs that work well. Possibly if we can understand why this particular design works so well we might be able to design miniature devices that use the same principles of operation!

medical anthropology and genomic linkshi all, as a medical anthropology student i have been compiling info related to the the genome project (HGP as well as the HGDP) for quite a while. at the following site
http://www2.ucsc.edu/~bobb aq/anthro/med/medanthlinks.htm, you'll find info regarding genetics/genomics bioprospecting/biopiracy, bioethics and the many other issues of concern to medical anthropologists. of particular interest to researchers is the list of course syllabi in which you'll find many bibliographic sources and book lists. the following is a clipping of the "source code."Genomic (and anti-genomics) Links [To Top]
Mapping the Icelandic Genome. "An Anthropology of the scientific, political, economic, religious, and ethical issues surrounding the deCode Project and its global implications." Contains useful pointers.
Indigenous people's coalition against biopiracy.
Various UN reports on the Genome question.
An Outline : Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) Background.
Cultural Survival has issue 20.2 (sum 1996) dedicated to 'Genes, People, and Property' issues.
The archive for discover magazine. Nov. 1994 issue has a few articles about genome and diversity.
The gene letter. The Nov. 96 issue has an HGDP article.

The Human Genome Diversity Project: Scientific, Social and Ethical Issues .
A list of articles from Native-L mailing list, listing all articles related to HGDP posted to the list.

*"Why Human Genetics is a Social Science"
* "Racism, Eugenics, and the Burdens of History"
* "Scientific and Folk Idea About Heredity"
