@nursekelsey My father was diagnosed with cancer when I was 16, and while sitting with him in the hospital, I was amazed at how the physicians were able to manipulate life systems to treat him.

It costs NYC, $2,000 to arrest someone. It costs them $500 per night to jail them on Rikers Island.

If someone is sentenced to 60 days in jail because they didn't pay a $2.75 subway fare, it costs the city, $22,000.

Using fly and Xenopus models, we tested 14 homologs of 3q29 genes and 316 pairwise interactions for cellular, neuronal and developmental phenotypes. We find that NCBP2 synergistically enhances the phenotypes of other 3q29 genes through disruption of apoptosis pathways.
