Document Summary

Pure land buddhism - the most popular type of buddhism in japan. Budhha did not know if he should teach because he was convinced that teaching was too difficult. He was convinced by the god to teach eventually. The budhhist teaching were very difficult and that is why there was a decline overtime. Buddhism as a living reality is encapsulated in 3 words : take refuge in the buddha, in the dharma and in the sanga (community). His teachings started with what is the problem? - it"s an existential problem. The suffering -cause of suffering is the desire, craving, and attachment. Nirvana - blowing out the flame of craving. (in pure land you are in the best possible. Nirvana is a enlightenment/realization that whatever we crave doesn"t have any condition to achieve nirvana) subsistent meaning to us. Realizing that all phenomena have no self-nature. Realizing that all phenomena are co-dependently arisen: that no phenomena is subsistent and independent.

I've started teaching myself about next-generation sequencing inpreparation for a new job, and I'm wondering what the maindifferences are between the 454, SOLiD, and Illumina/Solexamachines, in terms of sample/library preparation and chemistry. Howdifficult is it for a protein veteran but next-gen newbie to gethigh-quality useful reads? I'm mainly going to be looking atantibody diversity, but consider this in general terms for anynext-gen project.

I understand the basic theory of fluorescent chain-terminationsequencing, but it's been a number of years since I last did it,and my career is now taking me back into the DNA realm.

A rare condition known as adermatoglyphia leads to such smooth fingertips that the individual has no fingerprints. It has been dubbed the "immigration delay disease" because sufferers have such a hard time entering foreign countries. Recently the cause has been traced to a point mutation in the very first nucleotide of an intron. The condition also leads to less hand sweat than the average person and researchers think that the gene might help skin cells fold over one another early in fetal development. This mutation is dominant to the wild type allele. A woman with this mutation marries a man with the same mutation. Why might it be difficult to calculate the probability they will have a child with fingerprints (consider all of the genotypes and phenotypes of potential children and the possible contribution of the gene to early fetal development)?
