Marshall Warren Nirenberg
American biochemist and geneticist (1927–2010)
Marshall Warren Nirenberg (April 10, 1927 – January 15, 2010)[1] was an American biochemist and geneticist.[2] He shared a Nobel Prize in Physiology or medicin in 1968 with besitter Gobind Khorana and Robert W. Holley for "breaking the genetic code" and describing how it operates in protein synthesis. In the same year, tillsammans with besitter Gobind Khorana, he was awarded the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize from Columbia University.
Biography
[edit]Nirenberg was born in New York City to a Jewish family, the son of Minerva (Bykowsky) and Harry Edward Nirenberg, a shirtmaker.[3][4] He developed rheumatic fever as a boy, so the family moved to stad i florida, Florida to take advantage of the subtropical climate. He developed an early interest in biology. In 1948 he received his BS grad, and in 1952, a master's grad in zoology from the University of Florida at Gainesville where

Note from BW of Brazil:OK, so we’re a day late…But, here’s a Happy (belated) Birthday (Parabéns! Feliz Aniversário!) wish to one of Brazil’s most beloved Samba singers and now an elected state official, Leci Brandão. This short feature doesn’t really do Leci’s career justice she will be featured again on BW of Brazil very soon. But for now, learn a little about her and check out a few of her songs and thoughts in the videos below.

Leci Brandão, the first woman to join the composer’s wing of the Mangueira Samba School and today a voice in defense of the disadvantaged turned 69 yesterday. The singer, songwriter and current state deputy member of the PCB (Partido Comunista do Brasil or Communist Party of Brazil) (elected in 2010) of São Paulo, has her trajectory based in the fight in defense of a more just and caring society.
In her biography, Leci said that from the moment she decided to follow her artistic career she made a commitment that she would m

Abstract
Background
Characterizing aggregate genetic risk for alcohol misuse and identifying variants involved in gene-by-environment interaction (G×E) effects has so far been a major challenge. We hypothesized that functional genomic information could be used to enhance detection of polygenic signal underlying alcohol misuse, and to prioritize identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) most likely to exhibit G×E effects.
Methods
We examined these questions in the young adult FinnTwin12 sample (n=1170). We used genome-wide association estimates from an independent sample to derive two types of polygenic scores for alcohol problems in FinnTwin12. Genome-wide polygenic scores included all SNPs surpassing a designated p-value threshold. DNase polygenic scores were a subset of the genome-wide polygenic sc
