Genomic “dark matter”: a key to understand cancer biology?

...interaction with epigenetic effectors. These effectors are protein complexes which can alter our hereditary traits without modifying the DNA sequence. Several studies show that lncRNAs can recruit them to specific region of the DNA where they can turn on and off some genes. While most nuclear lncRNAs control cellular processes through epigenetic regulation, some...

Understanding interstrand crosslink repair in Drosophila

...interaction with known protein in the standard pathway of DNA repair. These findings will have significant implications in understanding the complex process of ICL repair in humans. This repair process to damaged DNA is well-regulated, however when the damage gets to a critical level, cell division halts preventing continuous replication of damage cells which is seen in...

Recycling: Putting consumers to work

...interacts with other types of work conducted in the public, private, and voluntary sectors. In the case of waste management, placing all waste into a black bag (e.g. not sorting it for recycling) implicates the consumer in one chain of processes, whereas separating the waste for recycling involves the consumer in a very different chain of processes. The journey of waste...

Groups and teamwork

...interact socially and learn from others. Furthermore, people usually support what they create (Stanton, 1992). By contrast, many groups are much less explicitly focused on an external task. In some instances, the growth and development of the group itself is its primary purpose; process is more important than outcome. Many groups are reasonably fluid and less formally...

...interaction between scholars and practitioners’. (Holley, op cit) These can all be seen as versions of interdisciplinarity, but for simplicity we can think of interdisciplinary study being when students are encouraged to integrate and compare the approaches, insights and methods between two or more disciplines as part of the curriculum. Multidisciplinary study in...
