3D Structure of human genome / 3D Struktuur van menslike genoom
DNA is a double helix – on a small scale. But how, on cellular scale does DNA fold in and on itself to store some 3 billion basepairs? New research (Science, October 9 2009 issue) has shown that Nature has solved the problem by crunching masses of information incredibly tight - trillions of times more dense than on a computer chip! DNS is ‘n dubbel heliks – op klein skaal. Maar hoe, op sellulêre skaal, word DNS verpak om sowat 3 biljoen basispare te bevat? Nuwe navorsing (Science uitgawe 9 Oktober 2009) het nou aangetoon hoe die Natuur die probleem opgelos het deur ongelooflike hoeveelhede inligting saam te pers – triljoene keer digter as op enige rekenaar skyfie!
 
Humour the best medicine / Humor die beste medisyne
An eldery gentleman had serious hearing problems for a number of years. He went to the doctor and the doctor was able to have him fitted with a set of hearing aids that allowed the gentleman to hear 100%. The eldery gentleman went back to the doctor after a month and the doctor said ‘Your hearing is perfect. Your family must be really pleased that you can hear again’. The gentleman replied, ‘O, I haven’t told them yet. I just sit around and listen to the conversations. I’ve changed my will three times!’ ‘n Bejaarde man het ernstige hoorprobleme vir ‘n aantal jare gehad. Hy gaan toe na ‘n dokter wat hom met ’n stel hoor apparate toerus en wat hom 100% gehoor gee. Na ‘n maand gaan hy weer terug na die dokter wat vir hom sê dat sy gehoor perfek is. Hy sê ‘Jou familie is seker baie bly dat jy weer kan hoor’. Die man antwoord, ‘O, ek het hul nognie daarvan vertel nie. Ek sit maar net daar en luister wat gesê word. Ek het my testament nou al drie keer verander!”
