Any QA?

We finally get an app that doesn’t look like Windows 95/mobile but now drops some functionality (ex.: description/caption on pictures and videos no longer display, why are there generic articles and pictures of kids that are not my kid on the splash page?, random drops of database items, etc.). Also why can I not customize what I want to see from the memories tab? Why does it always default and reset to all items. Actually why is there not a separate tab for daily report/notes/non-media items? That would be an appropriate use of the front splash page, not some weird video or unsolicited advice. This app makes me want to stop my own work and redesign a new platform and backend design just so I can have a properly functioning app.

2 stars because while the new UI is cleaner than the old one but it’s no excuse for dropping functions and being an overall inelegant product.

2.5 stars- developer suggestions included in review

I love the convenience of this app for daily checkin (we used to manually fill this info out on a sheet of paper at drop off) and ability to keep all my kids daily records in one place (gives me the ability to go back and check sleep habits of my infant etc). HOWEVER it’s buggy and doesn’t always update properly. I usually can close the app and reopen, but this doesn’t always fix the problem.
Ideas for future updates-I would love the “food provided” section to be more user friendly (allow me to select multiple food items at a time or store meals that I often send together. Also I’d like to indicate which meal the food is intended for- for example I’d like yogurt served at “lunch” or as a “snack”. Right now teachers don’t know what food should be served when and just have to guess. Also it would be great if teachers could add reminders to the app that “pop up” for parents when filling out info for the next school day. For example when we are asked to bring in more wipes, that message appears on the daily report, but might be missed or forgotten by tomorrow. I’d like the previous day’s teacher notes to pop up the next day while filling out that days drop of notes. Maybe even with a check box to indicate it was completed. Hope that makes sense!

Mom and center director.

It seems like most people are complaining about not getting updates all day long, those people are probably the reason the center has decided to NOT give updates ALL DAY LONG! If one small thing got missed or entered late, that parent would be constantly calling and asking why-another great reason parents can’t send messages ALL DAY LONG. The people entering information are taking care of children and teaching! Also, many centers need to approve pictures that go home because of confidentiality and privacy of other families. I like to know pictures of my children aren’t going home with other people if that is my preference and there is someone overseeing that. The only thing I don’t like about the app, it seems like in the last year it has gotten slower, when I enter drop off notes it takes a long time to update and I have multiple children to leave notes about. I also would prefer notes for items needed came through in a push notification rather than getting missed in the daily report.

Tireless Little Vovochka – a loser, the first slob in school and a troublemaker. But outside the school walls, he turns … into a talented inventor! How many ideas does he have! But it is not so easy to implement them when not armed with scientific knowledge. Vika’s neighbor and comrade-in-arms in creative affairs is also not an assistant – the interests of this young “secular lady” are far from science. We have to seek advice from Vovochka’s older brother, a young graduate student. His knowledge will help the guys to realize and even improve any ideas!

Edible frogs manipulate their genes already at the tadpole stage

As a rule, hybrids of different species cannot reproduce. An example of this is the mule, the result of crossing a donkey and a mare. The fact is that even in closely related species, the chromosomes differ from each other, and because of this they cannot participate in recombination – the exchange of their parts, which is necessary in order for germ cells to form.

However, edible frogs ( Pelophylax esculentus ) – a hybrid of pond ( Pelophylax lessonae ) and lake ( Pelophylax ridibundus ) frogs – were able to solve this problem. Scientists from Russia and Poland found out that these animals “learned” to manipulate their genome. Frogs completely remove the genes of one of the species from the precursor cells of eggs and spermatozoa. To restore the required number of chromosomes, the animal doubles the number of chromosomes of the second parent species.

As a result, the genes of either the pond frog or the lake frog remain in the germ cells of edible frogs. Which genes should be left, the animal chooses based on the habitat. However, how exactly the frogs remove this genetic material, the scientists did not know.

Natural genome editing

In their new work, the same group of scientists found this out. Biologists led the development of a hybrid frog from artificially fertilized eggs, analyzing the chromosome set of germ cell precursors weekly. It turned out that at each stage of development, less and less genetic material of one of the species remained in the nuclei of germline cells, while the second genome was completely preserved.

Most likely, the “utilization” of chromosomes occurs during the division of germ cells, one of the authors of the article Dmitry Dedukh believes. This was due to special structures – micronuclei. They are found only in the cells of hybrid animals; scientists have not found them in either pond or lake frogs.

Micronuclei formed in germ cells of hybrid frogs (a) and their three-dimensional reconstruction (b). Gradual removal of lake frog chromosomes by incorporating them into micronuclei (marked with an arrow). The lake frog and pond frog chromosomes have different DNA sequences, which were identified in lake frogs (red dots) by fluorescent hybridization. Source: Dmitry Dedukh

“Chromosomes are located in the center of the cell to attach to the spindle of division, which distributes them between two daughter cells. But the part of the chromosomes belonging to one of the parental species “lags behind.” Individual chromosomes are not able to attach to the spindle of division and form micronuclei, which in further degrade. During each division, one or more chromosomes are excluded, and thus the process occurs gradually, “the scientist explained.

In the future, scientists plan to find out exactly how chromosomes are recognized, which must be removed or, conversely, left in the cell.
