The Story of You: ENCODE and the Human Genome

Encompassing the largest analysis of human DNA sequences since the Human Genome Project, the ENCODE project has provided scientists with the most comprehensive look yet at what is going on in the “rest” of our genome. It’s a very cool thing, and a Big Deal™. Of course, it’s not the first time that we’ve been told that important things are happening elsewhere in our genome, and it probably has quite a few chucks of data in it that won’t pan out. But hey, that’s science.

Even if the research teams (dozens of them!) raised a few eyebrows with the way they announced the data, ENCODE is still a major milestone in deciphering the function of the darker regions of the human genome. Here’s a video to introduce what it means.

I’ll have more on what the ENCODE project found later this week! Should be a fun exploration.

THE COLD WIND PAUSES AT THE LIP OF THE TRENCH BEFORE DESCENDING IN A RUSH, SEEKING OUR HEARTS, OUR LUNGS, OUR VERY HOPE. I PUSH THROUGH IT, RISKING EVERYTHING, TO SURVEY THE KILLING FIELDS. OVER THE POCKMARKED SOIL AND THE GNARLED STUMPS OF TREES AND FELLOW SOLDIERS I STARE AT A SEA OF SILVER GRASS, IMPERVIOUS TO THE WINDS, GLINTING IN THE CLOUD-CHOKED SUNLIGHT. HOW MANY BAYONETS? HUNDREDS? THOUSANDS? EACH BLADE GREEDY AND SHARP, HUNGRY FOR BLOOD AND VICTORY. HOW MANY OF US SHALL WRITHE ON THOSE SLIM DAGGERS? HOW RED WILL THE SOIL RUN?

IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS.

WE WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO SHIVER IN FEAR, BEREFT OF PRIDE AND PURPOSE, SEEKING ONLY SURVIVAL, OR RESPITE.

BOBBY, WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO? DID THE MAILMAN COME YET OR NOT?

AS IF IN A DREAM, I HEAR MY MOTHER’S VOICE. SHRILL AND NAGGING, YET SOMEHOW AGLOW WITH ALL THE WARMTH AND COMFORTS OF A HOME I MAY NEVER AGAIN SEE.

BOBBY, SERIOUSLY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? IF THE MAIL’S HERE GO GET IT PLEASE.

Villard de Honnecourt’s Diagram, via The Secret Law of Page Harmony

Practicing in 13th century France, Honnecourt was an architect who used a similar principle to design the pages of his Workshop Record Book that he did when working on his structures. (…)

This is a moment in which the boundaries separating graphic design and architecture were blurred, showing that the development of pleasing ratios, shapes and sizes is not dependent on the medium, but the mind.
