FairSearch.org coalition grows, U.S. travel and new international members (travel Daily News)

Foundem level [...] com, Microsoft, ZUJI, join coalitionFairSearch.org coalition grows, travel and new U.S. International members
FairSearch.org coalition has added several new trips members United States, United Kingdom, technology and online France and Asia-Pacific. FairSearch.org launched in October to support competition, transparency and innovation in online research. Coalition urges the Department of justice in the United States to challenge the proposed acquisition of ITA Software, the flight search technology which powers many popular travel sites Google web site.

New FairSearch.org members Foundem United Kingdom offers prices for travel and other products and services; comparison-based vertical search engine Com, level a (http://www.levelfrance.com/); Paris based French online travel association... Microsoft based in Redmond, wash., which operates a decision engine Bing and uses ITA Software to power its flight; search tool and ZUJI, based in Singapore which operates in the countries of the Asia-Pacific, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan Australia Korea New Zealand travel agency online and the India.

Members have announced join FairSearch.org members Expedia and Expedia.com brands, TripAdvisor, Hotwire Farelogix Inc. KAYAK and SideStep brand. Sabre Holdings and Travelocity brand. Travelocity has ZUJI. This announcement and new international members signal the growing concern worldwide on the largest threat Google-ITA coalition presents many travel consumer.

"Competition in the search for travel online in the last decade has not only created more choice and innovation for travellers, but also trained the lowest prices worldwide for consumers," said Roshan Mendis, President of ZUJI. "We are that less competition flying the United States research will result in less innovation in search of travel in the world, and most importantly still, less than pressure on suppliers of travel services to offer lower prices to consumers regardless of where they are."

ITA Software acquisition would Google control which feeds the majority of nearest rivals in travel research and could allow Google software manipulate and dominate the market for airline travel. The end result would be the increase in prices for travel, less choice for consumers and business travel and less innovation in the search for travel online.

"Level... com is committed to protecting customers online and to respect the ethics of a fair market, travel choices" said Frederic Vanhoutte, President. "Our Members welcome the competition and the evolution of the market. But allowing a dominant undertaking to concentrate the power in flight online search in his hand will reduce transparency and innovation stall, and that will lead to higher consumer prices. »

ITA provides the technology behind 65 per cent of all flight research online to the company air sites United States, and its software research flight authority six of the major airlines air ten in the United States. Most famous u.s. customers include American Airlines, Continental Airlines, Hotwire, KAYAK, Orbitz, Southwest Airlines, TripAdvisor, ITA United Airlines, US Airways and Virgin Atlantic.

Today, Google is responsible for more than 30% of the traffic travel online sites, engine search offering more than any other search engine, average main Internet users navigate to U.S. industries online, according to Experian Hitwise visitors. Google also is the dominant research online order for more than 70 percent of U.S. searches according to Experian Hitwise provider.

Researchers create mice with two fathers say human beings humans may be next (Daily Tech)

The laws of nature are being severely bent by the Texas team

Two male mammals cannot reproduce among them, right?  This is what you learned in the classroom of biology, certainly.  Many turns, as many laws of nature, there may be exceptions, with a certain amount of ruse.  Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas have bent the rules of the biology of mammalian and created a pair of mice, a male female, who have both father and no mother sex chromosomes.

The reproductive biologists MDACC team headed by Mr. Richard r. Berhringer takes first fibroblasts (connective tissue cells) of the first male (XY) father mouse, while he was just a fetus.  Fibroblasts were selected because they are easy to induce pluripotency, method of production from non-embryonic stem cells.  (IPSCs) induced pluripotent stem cells were grown then.

To culture something funny happened - the allele is disappeared in some cells.  This has proved an essential step in the production of baby two-father.  Then, XO cells were transplanted into the blastocyst (embryonic development) of a surrogate mother of mouse.  The resulting child female chimera (a surrogate mother second), which had a mixture of XO XX sex chromosomes.  Females (wearing the paternal chromesome first father) was then mated with the father of the second.

The end result of this rather confusing process was that some children had sex chromosomes in two mothers or two fathers.  They also probably inherited each father autosomes.

Team proclaims, "our study operates iPS cells technology to combine the alleles of two males to generate descendants male and female, i.e. a new form of mammalian reproduction."

Researchers believe that they could also use the technique to get the mouse to reproduce self.  Their condition, it is also possible that a male may produce eggs and sperm for selfing generate male and female descendants."

The team published work in reproductive biology journal.

They say that it could be optimized to save endangered species.  If only two men were in captivity, a surrogate mother of a similar species could serve as the birth of a dream that would produce (eggs) oocytes from the first father, resulting in two fathers to spend their genetic inheritance to offspring.

Applications can also lie in livestock.  Usually farmed animals is selected for favourable characteristics.  But what happens if the two men have some very favorable genetic traits?  This technique could enable these strengths to merge.

Finally, but not the slightest suggestion more controversial team using a technique of varied iPS, human oocytes (eggs) can be produced by cells of a father.  This could lead to two men being able to reproduce synthetically, certainly controversial technology.  The only question left is whether two females could be made to reproduce as well?  We will have to wait and see for future studies on this topic.
