There are two important elements to my famous strawberry custard, Elaine. One is making it on the kitchen floor. The other, of course, is kale.

Pre-pregnancy DNA tests for genetic conditions approved:

fuckyeahdevelopmentalbiology:

Genetic tests for conditions that can be passed on to future generations should be more widely available before pregnancy, says the government’s advisory body on genetics.

There are “no specific social, ethical or legal principles” against preconception screening, a Human Genetics Commission report has ruled.

Asparagus with Creamy Orange Sauce
Serves 4

Here’s a quick and simple recipe to jazz up spring asparagus. The original recipe calls for the use of soy mayo, but I deveganized it because I opted to use Greek yogurt. I also downgraded the amount of Dijon so as not to overpower the mixture. The recipe below contains the original ingredients and ratios.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 cup soy mayonnaise

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

2 teaspoons grated orange zest

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 pounds asparagus, trimmed

INSTRUCTIONS

Step One: Whisk together mayonnaise, orange juice, orange zest, and mustard in a small bowl.

Step Two: Cook asparagus in boiling salted water 1 to 3 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Drain, and place on serving plate. Pour sauce over bottom halves of asparagus.

Note: The heat of fresh-cooked asparagus brings out the orange flavor in the sauce, so be sure to spoon the sauce over the stalks while they are piping hot.

Epigenetics and the Human Brain

Epigenetics and the Human Brain:

fuckyeahdevelopmentalbiology:

Throughout our lives, the brain remains flexible and responsive to the outside world. In addition to receiving signals from the outside world, the brain allows us to form memories and learn from our experiences. Many brain functions are accompanied at the cellular level by changes in gene expression. Epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modification and DNA methylation stabilize gene expression, which is important for long-term storage of information.

Follow the link for a video discussing the epigenetic link between child abuse and suicide risk. If you click round this site you will also find an introduction to epigenetics and some fun games, which explain various aspects of genetics.
