Think of genes as different apps on a smartphone so all the smartphones that make up your liver will have one set of apps on
and your muscle cells will be using a different set of apps. In plants different apps (genes) are on in leaves
and roots but all the cells of a plant carry the same set of genes i e. the same genome.
or the apps that specify gene products are so cut up that they can no longer function as genetic material.
#Apple Health App: What It Can and Can't Do Apple's new Health app is now up and running on the latest version of ios 8 but
what exactly can this app do for you? The first thing to know is that the Health app doesn't track information by itself at least not yet.
It's an aggregator meaning it pulls information from your other health apps and displays it all for you in a single dashboard.
So for Apple's Health app to be useful you'll need other health apps.
Experts say that aggregation apps like Apple's Health can offer users a new experience
while allowing them to keep the apps they've become accustomed to using. With the Health app Apple is saying you don't have to abandon your old apps
but here's a new experience that you can digest your old data in said Dan Ledger principal at consulting firm Endeavour Partners
Although this aggregation may not be difficult for people who use just two or three apps separately there may be opportunities for taking that data combining it
and visualizing it in ways that these stand-alone apps can't do said Ledger. Right now there is a limited selection of apps that work with Apple Health.
For example if you track your activity with a fitness tracker such as a Fitbit a Withings Pulse
or a Basis watch you're out of luck because the apps for these devices don't integrate with Apple Health yet.
But quite a few popular apps have updated already their software and do work with Apple Health including Jawbone UP Myfitnesspal and Run with Map My Run+.
+You can allow these apps to write data to your Health app so that your data like how many steps you take
and how many calories you've eaten will show up on the Health app dashboard. You can also allow these apps to read data from the Apple app
so your different health apps can share information with one another. Essentially the Health app serves as a hub allowing information to come in
and go out of a central place. And you can choose which information you want third-party apps to see. 10 Fitness Apps:
Which Is Best for Your Personality? But how does aggregation offer more of a benefit than tracking things in just one app?
After all the new UP app (which does not require a wristband) already tracks steps calories burned
and sleep and even has a place to input what you eat. To find out some of the potential benefits of aggregation I downloaded Myfitnesspal to track my food intake.
This app does not show you a graph of the data on individual nutrients over time
but Apple's Health app does. Here's what the graph looks like: Graphing information for a single nutrient like sodium may be a useful way to keep track of
whether you're getting too much or too little of it. However when I tested the app there seemed to be a few bugs in communication between Myfitnesspal and Apple Health:
First my nutrition data did not show up on the Health dashboard until I restarted my phone
and entered my nutrition information again. And second only one nutrition data point showed up at a time the app didn't show me a graph of my intake over time.
Ledger said there are other challenges to aggregating information. For example if you have one app that tracks your workouts
and one that tracks your steps and you go for a run the apps will have to know that that's one event which is not an easy problem to solve Ledger said.
Still tracker aggregators could help users find connections in their data that they might not notice otherwise like
whether their workout quality changes based on temperature or humidity levels he said. However it's not clear
if there's an app for that yet.)Also right now the Health app can aggregate a number of measurements from your apps
but it's not an all-inclusive list. For example there is no place to track menstrual cycles or your exposure to ambient light
In addition when developers make apps that provide prescriptive information about your health that is give you advice on how to be healthier they have to tread carefully
As a result many health apps provide only descriptive information (i e. just your stats. The biggest challenge right now is getting those insights into an extremely high level of accuracy
or cause them to distrust the app even if the app is right most of the time Ledger said.
It's not about the 80 percent of the time you're going to get it right;
I go into the app and tell it Ledger said. That's a huge thing to ask of people.
when I heard Apple had announced its new Health app which is designed to collect and organize health-related information from other apps on an iphone.
It's an easy-to-read dashboard of health and fitness data such as heart rate blood sugar and miles walked.
His current study in The American Journal of Preventive medicine conducted with colleagues at Penn State examined more than 150 of the most popular exercise apps.
Most of the apps Conroy studied demonstrate how to properly perform a workout which is great
I tried to imagine my former patient Linda using Apple's Health app. When I first met Linda in my residency clinic she was 62.
Understanding the 10 Most Destructive Human Behaviors But building a successful behavioral-change app is not easy.
An ideal exercise app for Linda would have to first assess her readiness to change and then offer several things:
Far too few exercise apps use those techniques. There are decades of research on how to change behavior it seems silly not to capitalize on it Conroy said.
Some will suggest that Apple's Health app could bring attention to poor health behaviors spurring Linda and others to act.
However current apps do not address common issues like denial and relapse that led to their health decline.
and find a way to turn those techniques into apps that will motivate individuals like Linda to hurdle the obstacles between the couch and the gym.
Apple Watch has a fitness app that monitors a person's movement throughout the day using the watch's accelerometer
A separate workout app in the Apple Watch will track your stats during a workout including how far you've gone how fast you're moving and the length of your workout.
Data from your Apple Watch can be stored on the iphone's Health app which can be accessed by third-party apps the company said.
The device gets to know you the way a personal trainer would and delivers personalized goals as well as reminders to be active according to a video shown during the announcement.
On the other hand most fitness trackers do not have the ability to run apps as the Apple Watch does.
and Android apps to researchers in the field or via Google earth to be viewed in more detail on a computer.

#Apple's Health App Tracks Almost Everything, Except Periods Apple has released finally its much-anticipated health app
but some are asking why the app has no feature for tracking a woman's menstrual cycle.
The Healthkit app lets users track a slew of data about their bodies. The app can track
not only the usual suspects such as daily calories consumed and number of steps taken but also oodles of other health-related data including users'blood alcohol content body fat percentage respiratory rate and intake of sodium magnesium calcium fiber iodine
Apps for monitoring menstrual cycle do exist. For instance Clue is an app available for iphones that lets users keep track of bleeding pain mood
and sexual activity over the course of the month so a woman can know if her period is regular
Another app called Period Tracker has similar features and can predict the start of the user's next period.
6 Apps That May Stimulate Your Love Life So why doesn't Apple's Healthkit have these features?
Perhaps the app lacks a menstrual tracker because Apple's employees are primarily male The Verge's Arielle Duhaime-Ross wrote.
The app Clue has developed already an update that could integrate with Apple's Healthkit if approved a Clue employee told The Verge.

Apple prepares to pull Evi from the App Storeevi, the Siri-like iphone and Android app, is gong to be pulled from the itunes App store,
Techcrunch reports from the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Apple has approved versions of Evi for the App store many times,
but on Friday evening True Knowledge received a call from Apple representative Richard Chipman saying that Apple is going to pull Evi from the store
True Knowledge launched the artificial intelligence app in January, 2012, and all though Siri and Evi do not use the same search engine,
The Evi app appear confusingly similar to Siri, but their functions have a few differences. Evi is unable to do tasks like adding information to your calendar,
The rule being cited for pulling the app is number 8. 4 in the App store's T&cs where it says that apps which appear confusingly similar to an existing Apple product
Right now, about 200,000 Apple users have purchased already the app without the ability to get updates.

The app helps consumers make educated purchases reflecting their sociopolitical beliefs. But beyond information, Buycott features user-generated campaigns.
The app rocketed to#10 in app stores. Its success points to the widespread demand for more transparency in the corporate sphere. â Å The app takes the research process
and makes it instant, â Â said Pardo. Could you paint me a picture of the beginning of Buycott
I â â¢d already made a couple of apps at this point and I wanted to improve on their methods.
What happened when you built the app and made it available? For two or three weeks it was sitting in the app store.
It was the top 10 app in the Apple and Android store. Then I started recruiting friends to help run the business.
One of the things people are really picking up on is that the app doesn just give you information, it also something of a social network for consumers.
Could you talk about that aspect of the app? Which campaigns have already been formed and which ones are gaining momentum?
The app will trace the ownership structure of that product all the way up to its top corporate parent.
How do you advise people to use this app? If I wrote out a list of all the things I â â¢m for and against--and
I would have made an app to help you do that. But the only way that most people spend their money is via consumer products.
So that what the app focuses on. I don know whether my hypothesis is right, it still too early to say,
but the premise of the app is organized that people can effect social change if they target their spending.
Do you use the app? I â â¢ve joined three or four campaigns. I used it two or three hours a day when
when I first created the app. Recently someone wanted to boycott all of the sponsors of the Washington redskins until they changed their name to something less offensive.
I never would have imagined the app would be used for something like that. I thought it was a really interesting suggestion.
From the moment the app launched people have asked if I need any money or assistance.
when they come across the Buycott app? Up until before I launched the app, the only form of online protest was petitions.
Those have existed as long as I can remember--sites like avaaz. org and change. org. Petitions have been the staple of online protest for 20 years with no advancements.
I didn spend too much time on the social network aspect of the app on this version.
