While at PARC, Tesler's work included Smalltalk, the first dynamic object-oriented programming language, and Gypsy, the first word processor with a graphical user interface (GUI) for the Xerox Alto. During this, along with colleague Tim Mott, Tesler developed the idea of copy and paste functionality and the idea of modeless software.
The original cut, copy, and paste workflow, as implemented at PARC, utilizes a unique workflow: With two windows on the same screen, the user could use the mouse to pick a point at which to make an insertion in one window (or a segment of text to replace).
Gypsy (software) Gypsy was the first document preparation system based on a mouse and graphical user interface to take advantage of those technologies to virtually eliminate modes. Its operation would be familiar to any user of a modern personal computer. It was the second WYSIWYG document preparation program, a successor to the Bravo on the ...
In 1974, work began at PARC on Gypsy, the first bitmap What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get cut and paste editor. In 1975, Xerox engineers demonstrated a Graphical User Interface "including icons and the first use of pop-up menus". [5] In 1981 Xerox introduced a pioneering product, Star, a workstation incorporating many of PARC's innovations.
DNA transposon. DNA transposons are DNA sequences, sometimes referred to "jumping genes", that can move and integrate to different locations within the genome. [1] They are class II transposable elements (TEs) that move through a DNA intermediate, as opposed to class I TEs, retrotransposons, that move through an RNA intermediate. [2]
Larry Tesler created the concept of cut, copy, paste, and undo for human-computer interaction while working at Xerox PARC to control text editing.During the development of the Macintosh it was decided that the cut, paste, copy and undo would be used frequently and assigned them to the ⌘-Z (Undo), ⌘-X (Cut), ⌘-C (Copy), and ⌘-V (Paste).
Plasmid partition system. A plasmid partition system is a mechanism that ensures the stable inheritance of plasmids during bacterial cell division. Each plasmid has its independent replication system which controls the number of copies of the plasmid in a cell. The higher the copy number, the more likely the two daughter cells will contain the ...
The P element is a class II transposon, and moves by a DNA-based "cut and paste" mechanism. The recognition sequence comprises four exons separated by three introns . [ 3 ] Complete splicing of the introns produces the transposase enzyme, while alternative partial splicing of introns 1 and 2, leaving only intron 3 in the mRNA transcript ...
