archelsMammalian cells have an intrinsic program, the Hayflick limit, that limits their multiplication to about 60–70 doublings, at which point they reach a stage of senescence.01:09
archelsThis limit can be overcome by disabling their pRB and p53 tumor suppressor proteins, which allows them to continue doubling until they reach a stage called crisis, with apoptosis, karyotypic disarray, and the occasional (10−7) emergence of an immortalized cell that can double without limit. Most tumor cells are immortalized.01:09

kanzuredid you see the paper i showed yashgaroth20:24
kanzure19:40 < yoleaux> 2 Feb 2015 19:06Z <kanzure> yashgaroth: "A highly convenient procedure for oligodeoxynucleotide purification" http://benthamopen.com/contents/pdf/TOOCJ/TOOCJ-8-15.pdf20:24
kanzure19:40 < yashgaroth> kanzure: wrt the paper you linked me, the polymerization of the deletion mutants is the interesting bit; claiming that a centrifuge is "high-throughput" compared to HPLC is stretching it20:24
nmz787yeah, I think I commented on the centrifuge20:28

nmz787"It has been known since the 1970s that E. chloritica “steals” chloroplasts from V. litorea (called “kleptoplasty”) and embeds them into its own digestive cells. Once inside the slug cells, the chloroplasts continue to photosynthesize for up to nine months—much longer than they would perform in the alga. The photosynthesis process produces carbohydrates and lipids, which nourish the slug. How the slug manages to maintain these ...21:11
nmz787... photosynthesizing organelles for so long has been the topic of intensive study and a good deal of controversy. “This paper confirms that one of several algal genes needed to repair damage to chloroplasts, and keep them functioning, is present on the slug chromosome,” Pierce says. “The gene is incorporated into the slug chromosome and transmitted to the next generation of slugs.” While the next generation must take up ...21:11
nmz787... chloroplasts anew from algae, the genes to maintain the chloroplasts are already present in the slug genome, Pierce says."21:11
