The Road from Orion (Volume 2) is a story of magical realism, fictional characters and historical facts based on an authentic study (Volume 1) of the ancient Egyptian afterlife. This study called The Isis Thesis (2004) was presented by the author at the Third International Conference on New Directions in the Humanities at the University of Cambridge, UK (2005) and at the Second International Congress for Young Egyptologists in Lisbon, Portugal (2006). The study is unique because it disputes the general consensus of modern Egyptologists and scholars who believe the Egyptian texts are unintelligible and primitive. Yet, in light of Egyptian architectural feats, the temples of Philae, Abu Simbel, Dendera, Edfu, and Karnack, including the timeless grandeur of lofty pyramids, how could any scholar doubt that the Egyptian texts are full of valuable knowledge?Perhaps historians prefer to keep the Pharaohs' evolutionary knowledge silent and buried within their tombs. Or worse, perhaps we have overlooked their knowledge because of our proud emphasis on modern technological accomplishments. The research in the Isis Thesis explains the hidden evolutionary code buried in the Egyptian pyramids and tombs, showing that the hieroglyphs contain undeniable proof of their understanding of microbiology, space physics and much more. This knowledge was necessary for the evolution of Mind in the cosmos, and they mapped a specific pathway, which The Road from Orion reveals. The story and the thesis center on the Egyptian assumption that an aliveness or type of consciousness exists in both the organic and the inorganic; that is, every entity on our planet and in our cosmos, including a bacterium, a virus, a rock, or a star, is alive. Their process involves Time Reverse back to the beginning of our cosmos, which may be possible at a human Death transition because the laws of Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and Schrodinger allow Time Reverse. The Pharaohs' Science of Death made humans into starry gods or what we might call 'crystallized mind' through their secreted knowledge.To convey this scientific knowledge to readers who are not scientists or Egyptology scholars, The Road from Orion is a story explaining the study through the adventures of John Friedman, an undergraduate student at the University of Arizona, who is interested in the mystery of Death. Impulsive by nature, John signs up for a cloning experiment conducted by Dr. Lucia Farrell, the only granddaughter of Sir William Flinders Petrie, who excavated the Great Pyramid. John then discovers that Dr. Lucia has an impressive quantity of 'gold', a white powder with mind-expanding properties that her grandfather found on the floor of the Great Pyramid. Lucia believes that the Pharaohs used this powder to grasp total cosmic knowledge, so she plans to experiment with the powder on John, hoping to prove her Isis Thesis through biotechnology.Travel with our heroes as they gaze deep into the creative minds of the omniscient Pharaohs, as well as the famous and infamous musicians, artists, writers, philosophers, and madmen who are also caught up in a surreal web of biotechnology, magical realism, dream, madness, knowledge and creativity. Today the key to understanding the Pharaohs' silent legacy and the lost meaning of ancient and valuable historical texts can be decoded by following The Road from Orion to unlock the secrets in the Isis Thesis.

Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species, published 24 November 1859, is a seminal work of scientific literature considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology. Its full title was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life. For the 6th edition of 1872, the short title was changed to The Origin of Species. Darwin's book introduced the theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection, and presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose through a branching pattern of evolution and common descent. This included evidence that he had accumulated on the voyage of the Beagle in the 1830s, and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation.Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public, but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England, and science was part of natural theology. Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique, unrelated to animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated, but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are RNA molecules, conserved by evolution, that regulate gene expressions and their recent discovery is revolutionising both basic biomedical research and drug discovery. Expression levels of MiRNAs have been found to vary between tissues and with developmental stages and hence evaluation of the global expression of miRNAs potentially provides opportunities to identify regulatory points for many different biological processes. This wide-ranging reference work, written by leading experts from both academia and industry, will be an invaluable resource for all those wishing to use miRNA techniques in their own research, from graduate students, post-docs and researchers in academia to those working in R&D in biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies who need to understand this emerging technology. From the discovery of miRNAs and their functions to their detection and role in disease biology, this volume uniquely integrates the basic science with industry application towards drug validation, diagnostic and therapeutic development. Forewords by: Sidney Altman, Yale University, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1989 and Victor R. Ambros, Dartmouth Medical School, Co-discoverer of MicroRNAs

New sequencing technologies have broken many experimental barriers to genome scale sequencing, leading to the extraction of huge quantities of sequence data. This expansion of biological databases established the need for new ways to harness and apply the astounding amount of available genomic information and convert it into substantive biological understanding. A complilation of recent approaches from prominent researchers, Bioinformatics: High Performance Parallel Computer Architectures discusses how to take advantage of bioinformatics applications and algorithms on a variety of modern parallel architectures. Two factors continue to drive the increasing use of modern parallel computer architectures to address problems in computational biology and bioinformatics: high-throughput techniques for DNA sequencing and gene expression analysis-which have led to an exponential growth in the amount of digital biological data-and the multi- and many-core revolution within computer architecture. Presenting key information about how to make optimal use of parallel architectures, this book: Describes algorithms and tools including pairwise sequence alignment, multiple sequence alignment, BLAST, motif finding, pattern matching, sequence assembly, hidden Markov models, proteomics, and evolutionary tree reconstruction Addresses GPGPU technology and the associated massively threaded CUDA programming model Reviews FPGA architecture and programming Presents several parallel algorithms for computing alignments on the Cell/BE architecture, including linear-space pairwise alignment, syntenic alignment, and spliced alignment Assesses underlying concepts and advances in orchestrating the phylogenetic likelihood function on parallel computer architectures (ranging from FPGAs upto the IBM BlueGene/L supercomputer) Covers several effective techniques to fully exploit the computing capability of many-core CUDA-enabled GPUs to accelerate protein sequence database searching, multiple sequence alignment, and motif finding Explains a parallel CUDA-based method for correcting sequencing base-pair errors in HTSR data Because the amount of publicly available sequence data is growing faster than single processor core performance speed, modern bioinformatics tools need to take advantage of parallel computer architectures. Now that the era of the many-core processor has begun, it is expected that future mainstream processors will be parallel systems. Beneficial to anyone actively involved in research and applications, this book helps you to get the most out of these tools and create optimal HPC solutions for bioinformatics.

The world was agog when scientists made the astounding announcement that they had successfully sequenced the human genome. Few contributed so directly to this feat as John Sulston. This is his personal account of one of the largest international scientific operations ever undertaken. It was a momentous occasion when British scientist, John Sulston embarked on the greatest scientific endeavor of our times: the sequencing of the Human Genome. In "The Common Thread", Sulston takes us behind the scenes for an in-depth look at the controversial story behind the headlines. The accomplishments and the setbacks - along with the politics, personalities, and ethics - that shaped the research are frankly explored by a central figure key to the project. From the beginning, Sulston fervently proclaimed his belief in the free and open exchange of the scientific information that would emerge from the project. Guided by these principles, The Human Genome Project was structured so that all the findings were public, encouraging an unparalleled international collaboration among scientists and researchers. Then, in May 1998, Craig Venter announced that he was quitting the Human Genome Project - with plans to head up a commercial venture launched to bring out the complete sequence three years hence, but marketed in a proprietary database. Venter's intentions, clearly anathema to Sulston and the global network of scientists working on the Project, marked the beginning of a dramatic struggle to keep the human genome in the public domain. More than the story of human health versus corporate wealth, this is an exploration of the very nature of a scientific quest for discovery. Infused with Sulston's own enthusiasm and excitement, the tale unfolds to reveal the scientists who painstakingly turn the key that will unlock the riddle of the human genome. We are privy to the joy and exuberance of success as well as the stark disappointments posed by inevitable failures. It is truly a wild and wonderful ride. "The Common Thread" is at once a compelling history and an impassioned call for ethical responsibility in scientific research. As the boundaries between science and big business increasingly blur, and researchers race to patent medical discoveries, the international community needs to find a common protocol for the protection of the wider human interest. This extraordinary enterprise is a glimpse of our shared human heritage, offering hope for future research and a fresh outlook on our understanding of ourselves.
