When that lightbulb is an implant that stimulates retinal photoreceptors to restore one&#8217;s sight, quite a few &#8212; even if they disagree whether said implant should be placed on top of the retina (requiring glasses to supply power and video feed) or underneath, using [...]]]></description>

Researchers have found that the unique, specific changes among individuals in the sequence of DNA affect the ability of &#8220;control proteins&#8221; called transcription factors to bind to the regions that control gene expression.

The research appears March 17 in the advance online edition of the journal Nature.

The Board removed Thomas Jefferson from the Texas curriculum&#8217;s world history standards on Enlightenment thinking, “replacing him with religious right icon John Calvin.”
