Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 87-619898 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402-9325 (order form can be found in the back of this report) Foreword For the past 2 years, scientific and technical journals in biology and medicine have extensively covered a debate about whether and how to determine the function and order of human genes on human chromosomes and when to determine the sequence of molecular building blocks that comprise DNA in those chromosomes. In 1987, these issues rose to become part of the public agenda. The debate involves science, technol- ogy, and politics. Congress is responsible for ‘(writing the rules” of what various Federal agencies do and for funding their work. This report surveys the points made so far in the debate, focusing on those that most directly influence the policy options facing the U.S. Congress, The House Committee on Energy and Commerce requested that OTA undertake the project. The House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, the Senate Com- mittee on Labor and Human Resources, and the Senate Committee on Energy and Natu- ral Resources also asked OTA to address specific points of concern to them. Congres- sional interest focused on several issues: ● how to assess the rationales for conducting human genome projects, ● how to fund human genome projects (at what level and through which mech- anisms), ● how to coordinate the scientific and technical programs of the several Federal agencies and private interests already supporting various genome projects, and ● how to strike a balance regarding the impact of genome projects on international scientific cooperation and international economic competition in biotechnology.

    1 Constructing the Scientific Population in the Human Genome Diversity and 1000 Genome Projects Joseph Vitti I. Introduction: P

    Constructing the Scientific Population in the Human Genome Diversity and 1000 Genome Projects Joseph Vitti I. Introduction: Populations Coming into Focus In November 2012, some eleven years after the publication of the first draft sequence of a human genome, an article published in Nature reported a new ‘map’ of the human genome – created from not one, but 1,092 individuals. For many researchers, however, what was compelling was not the number of individuals sequenced, but rather the fourteen worldwide populations they represented. Comparisons that could be made within and among these populations represented new possibilities for the scientific study of human genetic variation. The paper – which has been cited over 400 times in the subsequent year – was the output of the first phase of the 1000 Genomes Project, one of several international research consortia launched with the intent of identifying and cataloguing such variation. With the project’s phase three data release, anticipated in early spring 2014, the sample size will rise to over 2500 individuals representing twenty-six populations. Each individual’s full sequence data is made publicly available online, and is also preserved through the establishment of immortal cell lines, from which DNA can be extracted and distributed. With these developments, population-based science has been made genomic, and scientific conceptions of human populations have begun to crystallize (see appendix). Such extensive biobanking and databasing of human populations is remarkable for a number of reasons, not least among them the socially charged terrain that such an enterprise inevitably must navigate. While the 1000 Genomes Project (1000G) has been relatively uncontroversial in its reception, predecessors such as the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP), first conceived in 1991, faced greater difficulty.

Olomouc 2011 1 Statement I declare that I wrote this dissertation on my own and that I cited all used sources. Olomouc, ............................... Vlastimil Vohánka ............................... 2 Abstract (EN) The author defends the thesis that, apart from religious experience, it cannot be evident – in a defined sense of psychological impossibility – that the Trinity doctrine is logically possible. The Trinity doctrine is understood broadly, as the proposition that there is just one God but three persons each of which is God. It is concluded that, apart from religious experience, none of the following claims can be evident: the Trinity doctrine is true; Christianity is true; the Trinity doctrine is logically possible; Christianity is logically possible; the Trinity doctrine has some but not minimal (zero) logical probability with respect to all that is evident; Christianity has some but not minimal logical probability with respect to all that is evident. Christianity is understood as a particular compound proposition including the Trinity doctrine. Replies are provided to objections against the employed principles of logical probability. The author leaves as undecided whether the Trinity doctrine, Christianity, or their logical possibility are: epistemically justified; well-argued; plausibly logically probable with respect to all that is evident (though not evidently logically probable on such information apart from religious experience); or probable in other than the logical sense.

What’s the link between Charles Darwin, beer advertising and genetics? Hamish revealed the relationship between these seeming disparate elements in two presentations, one to Invercargill’s University of the Third Age and one to the local community and senior students at Tolaga Bay Area School. WENDY NEWPORT-SMITH COMMEMORATING ALLAN WILSON, SUPPORTING BIOLOGY EDUCATION, BUILDING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES The Allan Wilson Centre organised Out of Africa, the successful lecture series commemorating Allan Wilson’s life and work delivered by Rebecca Cann, Professor of Cell and Molecular Biology at the University of Hawaii. A former graduate of Allan’s, Professor Cann shared with capacity audiences in Dunedin, Nelson, Auckland, Wellington and Palmerston North her experiences of working with Allan and the changes in evolutionary biology since his death 20 years ago. Allan Wilson’s contribution to science was the topic of a keynote address delivered by Allan Wilson Centre Director Charles Daugherty at The Biology Educators’ Association of New Zealand BioLive conference as part of our sponsorship of the event. Our sponsorship included hosting an event for educators and the launch of a powerpoint presentation to introduce evolutionary concepts to Year 10 students, using the story of human evolution as an example.

    Coding Sequences: a History of Sequence Comparison Algorithms As a Scientiªc Instrument

    Coding Sequences: A History of Sequence Comparison Algorithms as a Scientiªc Instrument Hallam Stevens Harvard University Sequence comparison algorithms are sophisticated pieces of software that com- pare and match identical or similar regions of DNA, RNA, or protein se- quence. This paper examines the origins and development of these algorithms from the 1960s to the 1990s. By treating this software as a kind of scien- tiªc instrument used to examine sets of biological objects, the paper shows how algorithms have been used as different sorts of tools and appropriated for dif- ferent sorts of uses according to the disciplinary context in which they were deployed. These particular uses have made sequences themselves into different kinds of objects. Introduction Historians of molecular biology have paid signiªcant attention to the role of scientiªc instruments and their relationship to the production of bio- logical knowledge. For instance, Lily Kay has examined the history of electrophoresis, Boelie Elzen has analyzed the development of the ultra- centrifuge as an enabling technology for molecular biology, and Nicolas Rasmussen has examined how molecular biology was transformed by the introduction of the electron microscope (Kay 1998, 1993; Elzen 1986; Rasmussen 1997).1 Collectively, these historians have demonstrated how instruments and other elements of the material culture of the labora- tory have played a decisive role in determining the kind and quantity of knowledge that is produced by biologists. During the 1960s, a versatile new kind of instrument began to be deployed in biology: the electronic computer (Ceruzzi 2001; Lenoir 1999). Despite the signiªcant role that 1. One could also point to Robert Kohler’s (1994) work on the fruit ºy, Jean-Paul Gaudillière (2001) on laboratory mice, and Hannah Landecker (2007) on the technologies of tissue culture.

This is a great opportunity and it was wonderful to see the news profiled on Channel Nine! I encourage you to read more by clicking HERE. 50th Anniversary Foundation Stone Dallas Brooks Hall Today we are joined by The Governor of Victoria, Her Excellency the Hon. Linda Dessau AC, to celebrate both the 50th anniversary of the laying of the original Foundation Stone and a new beginning for the historic site at 300 Albert Street, East Melbourne. The Governor will join Elysa Anderson from our magnificent development partner Mirvac and myself for a special unveiling of the gold inscribed original marble foundation stone and the historic ceremonial silver trowel used to cement the stone into place. The celebration of this milestone comes at a time when the last section of the Dallas Brooks Hall is being demolished to make way for the site to become the home of our new Masonic Centre and The Eastbourne, a new residential project.
