All three were so small - the size of large viruses - as to be virtually invisible under a microscope, and belonged to a totally new phylum of Archaea, microorganisms that have been around for billions of years. What made Baker's find possible was shotgun sequencing, a technique developed and made famous by Celera Corp., which used it to sequence the human genome in record time...

Songs such as David Bowie's "Fame," Prince's "Kiss," George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" and Sly and the Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song" were clearly based on Brown's rhythms and vocal style.

David Bowies låtar "Fame", Princes "Kiss" och Sly and the Familys Stone's "Sing a Simple Song" är alla låtar som är klart inspirerade av Browns musik.

If Brown's claim to the invention of soul can be challenged by fans of Ray Charles and Sam Cooke, then his rights to the genres of rap, disco and funk are beyond question.

Han sägs ha uppfunnit soulen, något som säkert Ray Charles och Sam Cookes fans invänder mot, men att han har legat bakom uppkomsten av rap, disko och funk är helt klart.

"The Iranian revolution has come to renew the Persian presence in the region. This is the real clash of civilizations."

– Från och med april 2007 måste alla kyrkor i Ryssland lämna in listor på samtliga besökare och referat från samtliga predikningar. Detta är ett oacceptabelt ingrepp i de mänskliga fri- och rättigheterna och måste noga beaktas av Sveriges regering och EU inför kommande samarbete med Ryssland. Det säger Holger Gustafsson, riksdagsledamot för Kristdemokraterna och medlem av riksdagens utrikesutskott, på onsdagen.

A Japanese man has survived for 24 days in cold weather and without food and water by falling into a state of "hibernation", his doctor has said.

The New Yorker has a fascinating article on a new generation of anthropologist military strategists, such as David Kilcullen and Montgomery McFate, who argue that social networks, not ideologies, are key to understanding terrorist campaigns.

A report by the General Accounting Office concludes that current patent law discourages drug companies from developing new drugs by allowing them to make excessive profits through minor changes to existing pharmaceuticals.

Researcher Sabine Bahn, M.D., Ph.D., and her colleagues at Cambridge University in England and the University of Cologne in Germany, detected abnormal proteins linked to schizophrenia in the liver and red blood cells of people who have the disorder. It is the first time the same altered proteins have been detected both within brain tissue as well as in non-brain tissue, according to Bahn. In time, Bahn says, these protein "biomarkers" could be used to trace the progression of the disease throughout the body.

There is a growing body of scientific evidence that links calcification to the presence of nanosized particles, particles so small that some scientists question whether a nanoparticle can live and if so, play a viable role in the development of kidney stones. The presence of proteins, RNA and DNA does not prove that nanoparticles are viable living forms because a genetic signature has not been identified, says the study's author John Lieske, M.D., a nephrologist with Mayo Clinic. A genetic signature would prove that nanoparticles are indeed living forms that replicate and can cause disease.
