This image is a transmission electron micrograph (TEM) image of a single commensal bacterium, E. coli Nissle 1917, which has been genetically engineered to express gas-filled protein nanostructures known as gas vesicles. The cell is approximately 2 micrometers in length, and the lighter-colored structures contained inside of it are individual gas vesicles.
Researchers engineered genes that allowed bacteria in the bodies of mice to be detected with ultrasound.
With further development, the technique could allow doctors to track bacteria that are sometimes used in treatments for gut infections and cancer.

Physicist Stephen Hawking - last writings - Artificial Intelligence - Superhumans - Genetic Engineering
The late physicist and author Prof Stephen Hawking has caused controversy by suggesting a new race of superhumans could develop from wealthy people choosing to edit their and their children’s DNA.
“I am sure that during this century, people will discover how to modify both intelligence and instincts such as aggression,” he wrote.
The renowned theoretical physicist, who died in March this year, made the grim prediction in a collection of essays and articles recently published by the UK’s Sunday Times, prior to the release of a book containing a collection of writings by Dr Hawking.
Dr Hawking was known for bringing clarity to some of the most mind-bending ideas in science such as the nature of black holes and the possibility of a multiverse.
In January 2015, Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and dozens of artificial intelligence experts signed an open letter on artificial intelligence calling for research on the societal impacts of AI. The letter affirmed that society can reap great potential benefits from artificial intelligence, but called for concrete research on how to prevent certain potential "pitfalls": artificial intelligence has the potential to eradicate disease and poverty, but researchers must not create something which cannot be controlled.
The new bronze by Bjoern Noergaard stands some 400 meters from the original Little Mermaid statue and is part of a sculpture group dubbed "The Paradise Genetically Altered."
Like the original, Noergaard's mermaid sits on a rock, but her features are twisted and her limbs exaggeratedly long and skeletal.
First presented at the Expo 2000 exhibition in Hannover, Germany, the Genetically Altered Mermaid is one of six sculptures circling a sandstone arch with a 4.7-meter Madonna statue on top. The other sculptures are The Pregnant Man, Christ and Maria Magdalena and Adam and Eve.
The artwork was described in a news release as "a provocative and humorous look at postmodern society."
The original Little Mermaid was created by Danish sculptor Edvard Eriksen in tribute to Danish storyteller Hans Christian Andersen. It has been sitting on a rock at the entrance of the Copenhagen harbor since 1913 and is drawing an estimated 1 million visitors a year.
Noergaard, a professor at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, is best known for his 1970 exhibition that caused a stir in Denmark. He had a horse slaughtered, pickled parts of it and put them in 112 glass jars before they were exhibited.
In October 1981, flying tiger ancient human remains from Guizhou Provincial Museum trial excavation, the accumulation of complex, broadly divided into early and late phases. Early formation of yellow or grayish yellow, unearthed panda, Stegodon fossils, stone products are made for the late Paleolithic culture era. Advanced formation is black, black, unearthed animal genetic pulp for extant species, and human mandibular and chipped stone, grinding stone, grinding bone, pottery and other large, geological time for the Holocene, culture in the age of the Neolithic age, that about 4000 years ago to 6000 years.
Unearthed stone products made a total of 532 pieces of raw materials, mainly to flint stone, there is, nuclear, stone etc.. The stone to stone, with the forward direction of processing processing, types of hit device, a scraper, tip like device and dolabriform etc.. The scraper accounted for 76%, tip like device is small but fine processing. The axe is a symbol of the transformation of Neolithic culture. 27 pieces of polished stone, delicate process, a stone axe, stone adzes, stone spinning wheels, stone scraper, stone arrow head, small stones (spear) 8. The number of stone adzes, regular shape, with long oblique cutting tool representative. 79 pieces of bone, in addition to the 1 pieces of grinding residual bone scraper, are making bone, bone and bone shovel cone. The three notches in the teeth may be scratching the porcupine symbol. In addition to pottery and ball spinning round round cake 1, the rest are all pieces of artifacts. 1494 tablets. The uneven thickness, thickness of 1.2 cm, thickness of only 0.2 cm, high temperature, hard texture. About 70% of sand pottery, pottery sand shale pottery class accounted for 30%, very little. Sand and sand are mainly sand. Pottery ornamentation is complicated, there are thick rope lines and Fang Gewen cone, tattoo, carved lines and lines and other additional cone. There are 3 pieces of pottery pottery, which has 1 pieces of orange powder is subjected to pottery coating inside and outside the grey clay, on the exterior is painted with two parallel red bands. This is the first time in Guizhou, Guizhou is also the earliest pottery record.
The site has a new and old stone formation, and the cultural connotation is rich. Pottery appear more attractive, but considerable differences in advanced culture. These have great significance to the study of the relationship between the new and the old stone culture in Guizhou and the time continuity of the times.
In February 23, 1982, the Guizhou Provincial People's Government approved the publication of the provincial cultural relics protection units. 1981年10月，飞虎山古人类遗址由贵州省博物馆试掘，洞内堆积复杂，大致分早、晚两期。早期地层呈黄色或灰黄色，出土大熊猫、剑齿象等化石，石制品均为打制，文化时代为旧石器时代晚期。晚期地层呈黑色、灰黑色，出土动物遗髓为现生属种，并出人类下颌件和打制石器、磨制石器、磨制骨器、大量的陶片等，地质时代为全新世，文化时代属新石器时代，推测距今约4000年至6000年。
遗址出土打制的石制品共532件，原料以燧石为主，有是核、石片、石器等。石器以石片为主，加工方向以正向加工为主，类型有砸器、刮削器、尖状器和斧形器等。其中刮削器占76%，尖状器虽少但加工精细。斧形器似为向新石器文化转化的象征。磨制石器27件，加工精致，有石斧、石锛、石纺轮、石刮刀、石箭(矛)头、小石块等8种。石锛数量多，形制规整，以长形斜刃具代表性。骨器79件，除1件残的磨制骨刮刀外，均为打制骨器，有骨锥和骨铲。其中豪猪牙上的三道刻痕可能是刻划符。陶器除圆饼式及圆珠纺轮各1件外，其余全是器物碎片。计1494片。其厚度不匀，厚者达1.2厘米，薄者仅0.2厘米，火候高，质地坚硬。夹砂灰陶约占70%，夹砂黑陶占30%，泥质类陶极少。夹砂陶以夹细砂为主。陶片纹饰复杂多样，有粗细绳纹、方格纹、锥刺纹、刻划纹和附加锥纹等。陶片中有3片彩陶，其中有1片是在泥质灰陶的内外施以粉澄色陶衣，再于外表绘有两条平行的红色条带。这是贵州首次发现，也是贵州迄今最早的彩陶记录。
遗址具有新、旧石器地层叠压，文化内涵丰富。彩陶的出现更引人瞩目，但中、晚期文化差异颇大。这些对研究贵州新、旧石器文化的相互关系和时代延续问题具有重要的意义。
1982年2月23日，经贵州省人民政府批准公布为省级文物保护单位。

TX-46092 was just a little different from all of the other clones. . .
By means of some strange genetic glitch, he was more than twice the size of his fellow clones!
My whole life I have dealt with the insecurity of my incredibly pale skin. Ive tried tanning naturally, and by the bed, and each year i am let down by my genetics. Yet I always find the motivation and the optimism to try every year to turn even a slighter shade of peach.
This year I hope to overcome this insecurity, even though already I have caught myself keeping track of the days that I have been in the sunlight without protection. I feel as though nothing will stop me from wishful thinking and forward action on this front, but I can try and accept how my genetics make me look regardless of the outcome.
I need to realize that we are all goddesses regardless of what the genetic pool has dealt us...even me.
"I’m not feeling alright today
I’m not feeling that great
I’m not catching on fire today
love has started to fade
I’m not going to smile today
I’m not gonna laugh
you're out living it up today
I’ve got dues to pay
And the grave-digger puts on the forceps
The stone mason does all the work
The barber can give you a haircut
The carpenter can take you out to lunch
I just want to play on my pan-pipes
I just want to drink me some wine
as soon as you're born you start dying
so you might as well have a good time
Sheep go to heaven
Goats go to hell
Sheep go to heaven
Goats… go to hell"

Sonora, MX: We encountered three specimens along the mountainous terrain of the Sierra Madre Occidental. One specimen resembled the Mexican Black-tail Rattlesnake (Crotalus molossus nigrescens) and another resembled something similar to Northern Black-tail Rattlesnakes (Crotalus molossus molossus) from southeastern Arizona. This area is known for being a genetic mystery, as some specimens can also resemble the Mexican West Coast Rattlesnake (Crotalus basiliscus), as they do occur lower in elevation on the western slope. This specimen, our third of the trip for this region, looks typical of Black-tail Rattlesnakes in southeastern Arizona but it features more pronounced diamonds along its back which is more like the Mexican West Coast Rattlesnake (C. basiliscus) than the typical Black-tail Rattlesnake (C. molossus subsp.).
Bjørn Nørgaard created the abstract mermaid as part of a larger sculpture group called the Genetically Modified Paradise. The collection of sculptures is supposed to be the artist’s ironic view of the postmodern society and a meditation on the way genetic technology is changing the way humans perceive themselves.

▶ Scherzer was born with a condition known as heterochromia iridium — a genetic trait that causes each eye to be a different color. Scherzer's right is blue and his left, brown.
▶ UPDATE:
The mural has been taken down. Scherzer was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021.

Another shot taken by my 10 year old nephew, Trent, taken in Charleston, South Carolina.
Visiting my family in Pawleys Island, South Carolina yesterday, I noticed the photo below on the dining room table and thought that someone they knew was visiting Venice, Italy, and had sent them a postcard. I had heard that Trent had become a bit of an avid photographer, I just had no idea to what extent!

see those two red spots in her left eye? Genetic trait.
The humor, however, is completely her own personality.
isn't this a perfect spot, edna?
it is, stanley. except. . .
except what?
well, except for your brother.
my brother?
just look at him! it's embarrassing!
oh come now. he can't help being that way.
but you're not like that!
I guess I got my mother's genes.
whose did he get?
we decided we don't want to know.
probably for the best.
for sure.

Just as I'm partly reflected in my child's eye, I'm also partly reflected in my child's mind.
During my child's growth, other factors will contribute to form a new whole, and then, possibly, generate a new mirroring in the next step in the pedigree. I've got no idea for
how long I will contribute in the genetic heritage - but it will probably take some time before I'm completely erased from the genome.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Precis som jag till viss del reflekteras i mitt barns öga är jag också i vissa delar speglad i mitt barns inre.
Under mitt barns uppväxt kommer andra faktorer bidra till att forma en ny helhet för att sedan, eventuellt, generera en ny spegling i nästa led i stamtavlan. Hur länge jag kommer bidra i det genetiska arvet har jag ingen aning om - men det lär nog ta sin tid innan jag är helt utraderad ur arvsmassan.

The only ambient lighting came from some incandescent looking lights about several stories above us. I had set my camera's white balance to Fluorescent lighting (4000k) to get this shot.
