Evolution of Monogamy

Supersized Science ·

2016/04/01

UT Austin biologist Rebecca Young discuss her work with host Jorge Salazar about how she traces the genes behind monogamous behavior using the Wrangler supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center. Scientists at the Hofmann Lab of UT Austin are using the Wrangler data-intensive supercomputer to find orthologs — genes common to different species. They'll search for them in each of the major lineages of vertebrates — mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and fishes. "What we want to know is,

Alan Alda, actor, director and writer, has had a lifelong interest in science. He hosted the PBS program Scientific American Frontiers from 1993 to 2005, an experience he called "the best thing I ever did in front of a camera." Perhaps best known as surgeon 'Hawkeye' Pierce on the TV series MASH, Alda has won seven Emmys, six Golden Globes, and three Directors Guild of America awards for directing. His two memoires are both New York Times bestsellers. A recipient of the National Science Board's

Host Jorge Salazar interviews scientists Karen Vasquez and Albino Bacolla of the University of Texas at Austin. Supercomputers have helped scientists find a surprising link between cross-shaped pieces of DNA and human cancer, according to a study at The University of Texas at Austin. DNA naturally folds itself into cross-shaped structures called cruciforms that jut out along the sprawling length of its double helix. The DNA cruciforms typically aren't anything to worry about. In fact, previous
