A startup named Genos plans to sequence the entirety of the human genome, albeit in the future. For now, the company aims to sequence a segment of the genome known as the exome. The exome is part of the genome that expresses its information into proteins. It constitutes around 1 percent of the human genome. #GeneticData

Gregg Braden shares a discovery about the incredible powers of the human heart. In 1991, a scientist discovered that we have within our hearts about 40,000 specialized cells concentrated in a very precise way. The specialized cells are called sensory neurites. It means they’re essentially brain-like cells, but they’re not in our brain — they’re in our heart. #amazingheart

“Millions of people around the world already enjoy the health benefits of mind-body interventions like yoga or meditation, but what they perhaps don’t realize is that these benefits begin at a molecular level and can change the way our genetic code goes about its business.” – Lead investigator Ivana Buric from the Brain, Belief and Behavior Lab #meditation #yoga

One of the greatest lessons I’ve ever learned in my life is that everything is connected. This is a tough concept to grasp when our physical senses want so intensely to convince us that we are separate. But as I mention is just about every article of mine, everything is energy and therefore there is no divide, but a mere convincing and illusory perception of it. #interconnectedness

A new study has examined the dietary habits of more than 18,300 US adults and found the majority of people who increased their consumption of plain water by 1 percent reduced their total daily calorie intake as well as their consumption of saturated fat, sugar, sodium, and cholesterol. #drinkingwater

White noise is not the same as other noise — and even a quiet environment does not have the same effect as white noise. With a background of continuous white noise, hearing pure sounds becomes even more precise, as researchers have shown. Their findings could be applied to the further development of cochlear implants. #hearing #whitenoise

Every now and again, scientists discover fossils that are so bizarre they defy classification, their body plans, unlike any other living animals or plants. Tullimonstrum (also known as the Tully Monster), a 300m-year-old fossil discovered in the Mazon Creek fossil beds in Illinois, US, is one such creature. #tullymonster
