Editors' Statement on Considerations of Biodefence and Biosecurity EDITORIAL Editors’ statement on considerations of biodefence and biosecurity The threat of bioterrorism requires active consideration by scientists. On 9 January 2003, the US National Academy of Sciences held a discussion on the balance between scientific openness and security. The next day, a group of editors met to discuss the issues with specific reference to the scientific publication process. The following statement has emerged from that meeting.

  • Robert A. Alberty 1921–2014
    Robert A. Alberty 1921–2014 A Biographical Memoir by Gordon G. Hammes and Carl Frieden ©2014 National Academy of Sciences. Any opinions expressed in this memoir are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Academy of Sciences. ROBERT ARNOLD ALBERTY June 21, 1921–January 18, 2014 Elected to the NAS, 1965 Robert A. Alberty maintained an enthusiasm for science throughout his entire life. His presence at meetings was easily detectable, as he was blessed with an unmistak- able and booming voice that conveyed his latest scien- tific interests and above all his continual commitment to the science enterprise. Alberty directed this passion to thermodynamics and kinetics in particular, especially as applied to biological systems, and his research in these areas established a rich legacy for modern biophysical chemistry. He was a “triple-threat” scientist, excelling not only in research but also in teaching and university administration. Alberty (Bob to all who knew him) was born in Winfield, By Gordon G. Hammes Kansas, but when he was five years old his family moved and Carl Frieden to Lincoln, Nebraska. Even as a boy, he displayed a strong interest in science, exemplified by a basement chemistry laboratory and photographic dark room that he built in the family’s home. When he entered the University of Nebraska in 1939, Alberty had been planning a career as a chemical engineer, but then he discovered that this would require extensive coursework in drafting and surveying. Because he had already learned surveying from his grandfather, he saw no need to take college courses in the subject.

Latent virus life cycles are no exception to this definition, as viruses are still reliant on host machinery for continued proliferation and maintenance of viral genomes, even in the absence of lytic replication. In this thesis, I used essentiality screening to identify host factors on which Kaposi's Sarcoma Associated Herpesvirus (KSHV) relies for the proliferation and survival of latently infected cells. KSHV is the etiological agent of Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS), an endothelial cell-based tumor where more than 90% of the endothelial cells in the tumor are latently infected with KSHV. While traditional therapies for herpesviruses target lytic replication, the prevalence of latency in KS necessitates exploration of options for intervening in this stage of the viral life cycle. I performed CRISPR/Cas9 screening using lentiviral vec- tors encoding a library of single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) targeting every protein coding gene in the human genome. I compared mock infected and KSHV infected endothelial cells eight days post infection to identify genes essential to latent KSHV infection.

    bulletin of Duke University 2003-2004 School of Medicine The Mission of Duke University James B. Duke’s founding Indenture of Duke University directed the members of the University to “provide real leadership in the educational world” by choosing indi- viduals of “outstanding character, ability and vision” to serve as its officers, trustees and faculty; by carefully selecting students of “character, determination and application;” and by pursuing those areas of teaching and scholarship that would “most help to de- velop our resources, increase our wisdom, and promote human happiness.” To these ends, the mission of Duke University is to provide a superior liberal educa- tion to undergraduate students, attending not only to their intellectual growth but also to their development as adults committed to high ethical standards and full participa- tion as leaders in their communities; to prepare future members of the learned profes- sions for lives of skilled and ethical service by providing excellent graduate and professional education; to advance the frontiers of knowledge and contribute boldly to the international community of scholarship; to promote an intellectual environment built on a commitment to free and open inquiry; to help those who suffer, cure disease and promote health, through sophisticated medical research and thoughtful patient care; to provide wide ranging educational opportunities, on and beyond our campuses, for traditional students, active professionals and life-long learners using the power of in- formation technologies; and to promote a deep appreciation for the range of human dif- ference and potential, a sense of the obligations and rewards of citizenship, and a commitment to learning, freedom and truth.

Mikkel Schubert et al. sequenced the DNA from ancient horse bones and compared it to the genomes of five modern domesticated breeds and the only living wild horse species, Przewalski’s horse. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that domesticated breeds likely derived at least partially from the ancient populations. In addition, genes involved in muscle, limb, joint, and cardiac system development, and in social behavior, learning capa- bilities, fear response, and agreeableness were favored during domestication, indicating adaptations that may have resulted from human use and taming.
