  Germany
The decay was hastened by the prevailing idea that this State was the personal property of the sovereign, a view that contained the germ of constant quarrels and necessitated the division of the empire when there were several sons.
A period of utter confusion and great distress of conscience followed; all the relations of life suffered, the political by no means the least.
The emperors of this period, Ferdinand I (1556-64), Maximilian II (1564-76), Rudolf II (1576-1612), and Matthias (1612-19), not only failed to arouse the princes to a more intelligent treatment of the affairs of the empire, but by their own policy they encouraged the princes to pursue purely personal ends.

When, on I January, 1850, the first number of The Germ: Thoughts towards Nature in Poetry, Literature and Art was published, the brotherhood formulated its artistic creed, in a manifesto printed on the cover of the magazine, as “an entire adherence to the simplicity of art.” The contents illustrated a strict obedience to this principle.
The subject, however, the peaceful death of a girl at midnight on Christmas eve, amid a quiet broken only by common sounds and the striking of the church clock, while the scene outside is bathed in cold moonlight, is invested with the mysticism and romance which were an inalienable part of Rossetti’s thought.
Other poems written during this period were copied into a manuscript book, which, when his wife died in 1862, was buried with her.

This is the British Library copy of the first edition of The Germ, the periodical launched by DGR and some friends in 1850 for disseminating the work and ideas of the initial Pre-Raphaelite circle.
The most useful commentary on the periodical is still the 1901 Preface written by WMR for the facsimile reprint of The Germ.
After the fame of the PRB was established, The Germ was reprinted first by Thomas Mosher (1898: Portland, Maine) and again as a close facsimile in 1901 with an introductory “Preface” by William Michael Rossetti giving historical and bibliographical particulars about the magazine.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Periodicity of SNP distribution around transcription start sites
The periodical patterns of nucleotide variability suggest the location of nucleosomes that are phased at TSS, and can be viewed as the genetic footprint of the chromatin state that has been maintained throughout mammalian evolutionary history.
The majority of the SNPs are believed to have no biological consequence, and therefore their diversity is primarily determined by the mutation rate within the germ cells, although it may be affected by the selective pressure that operates at the individual level [6].
This periodicity comes solely from the TSS regions with CGI, and the range the periodicity is observed is roughly the same as the CGIs occupy, i.e., 0.4 kb or 2 to 3 nucleosome units.

For the mathematical notion of an equivalence class of functions, see Germ (mathematics) Germ is an informal term for a disease-causing organism, particularly bacteria (as in Germ warfare).
The word is not to be confused with the term from developmental biology (as in wheat germ).
One of the first people to postulate that some diseases were caused by the presence of some kind of very small seed (the original meaning of germ) that germinated or multiplied in the body to produce the disease was Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor, practising in an obstetrics ward in the 1840s.

A new monthly periodical presents itself, courting public notice and favour.
At present it is but a "Germ," as its name imports, infolding many deep and beautiful "thoughts towards nature in poetry, literature and art." If we may judge by the first two numbers lying before us, it promises to grow into a fair tree of goodly fruit.
Original poems, stories to develop thought and principle, essays concerning art and other subjects, are the materials which are to compose this unique addition to our periodical literature.

 Citebase - Can ovarian infertility be treated with bone marrow- or ovary-derived germ cells?
Recently, the same research group declared such view obscure, and reported that mammalian oocytes originate from putative germ cells in bone marrow and are distributed by peripheral blood to the ovaries (Cell 122:303).
Since germ cells developing from the OSE cells of adult human ovaries during periodical follicular renewal are known to enter blood vessels in order to enable formation of primary follicles at distant ovarian sites, they also contaminate peripheral blood and hence bone marrow.
Better knowledge on the complexity of follicular renewal in humans and exploration of a potential of human OSE cells to produce new oocytes in vitro are essential for novel approaches to the autologous treatment of premature ovarian failure and age induced ovarian infertility.

The contents of each number reflect his ideas and influence, nor are we surprised to learn, from surviving early documents, that he was the chief agent working to secure material for publication.
The key persons involved in founding the periodical were DGR, his brother WMR, and William Holman Hunt, although the whole of the PRB circle discussed the journal and how it should be constituted.

It is the Point in the Mundane Egg (see Part II., "The Mundane Egg"), the germ within the latter which will become the Universe, the ALL, the boundless, periodical Kosmos, this germ being latent and active, periodically and by turns.
Upon inaugurating an active period, says the Secret Doctrine, an expansion of this Divine essence from without inwardly and from within outwardly, occurs in obedience to eternal and immutable law, and the phenomenal or visible universe is the ultimate result of the long chain of cosmical forces thus progressively set in motion.
The Germ is invisible and fiery; the Root (the plane of the circle) is cool; but during Evolution and Manwantara her garment is cold and radiant.

 Blavatsky Net Quote of the day fo April, 1999
It [the point in the center of the circle] is the Point in the Mundane Egg (see PartII., "The Mundane Egg"), the germ within the latter which will become the Universe, the ALL, the boundless, periodical Kosmos, this germ being latent and active, periodically and by turns.
This second assertion of the Secret Doctrine is the absolute universality of that law of periodicity, of flux and reflux, ebb and flow, which physical science has observed and recorded in all departments of nature.
An alternation such as that of Day and Night, Life and Death, Sleeping and Waking, is a fact so common, so perfectly universal and without exception, that it is easy to comprehend that in it we see one of the absolutely fundamental laws of the universe.

One of the innovations of the Pre-Raphaelite Movement is that species of periodical publication, the avant-garde manifesto-cum-magazine.

 Conserved characteristics of heterochromatin-forming DNA at the 15q11-q13 imprinting center -- Greally et al. 96 (25): ...
The locations and target chromosomes for the putative germ line imprint switch elements are represented by vertical arrows marked oogenesis-responsive element (ORE) (responsible for switching the paternal to a maternal imprint in the female germ line) and spermatogenesis-responsive element (SRE) (responsible for maternal to paternal switching in the male germ line).
We propose that the maternal chromosome is inherited with a heterochromatic organization of the MAR sequences identified in this study.
The presence of the heterochromatin on the maternal chromosome is likely to be associated with suppressive effects in cis, allowing the proposal of a position effect model for imprint spreading to regulate the 2-Mb domain.

 The Germ (periodical) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Germ was a periodical established by the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood to disseminate their ideas.
The Germ published poetry by William Michael Rossetti (who also edited the magazine) and other members of the Brotherhood, including his brother Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Thomas Woolner and James Collinson.
The title The Germ refers to the Pre-Raphaelite belief in the importance of nature (a germ is a seed) and of the human imagination, as implied by the phrase "the germ of an idea".

Authors are listed without credentials accompanying their articles, but all articles list colleges at the end which we can assume are the origin of the articles and the place where their authors hold positions.
The tone of articles is scholarly presentation, and all articles accept the importance and admirable qualities of realism, which the journal defines as the period of American literature between 1870-1910.
Articles such as John N. Swift’s “Jack London’s ‘The Unparalleled Invasion’: Germ Warfare, Eugenics, and Cultural Hygiene” (volume 35, number 1) follow the modern practice of studying works from other eras with a modern eye and applying newer knowledge to themes and characters within.

We understand this little Periodical is to be devoted to the lucubrations of various of our younger artists, who are monthly to contribute their quantum of poetry, pictures, and prose.
There is much of true thinking and right feeling in the various articles in this little journal; and we wish so well to its projectors that we will gladly doff the critic, cheering them on their path, and begging their readers to encourage right aspirations by pardoning little errors, lest "The Germ" should not fructify.
The effort ought to be supported; it is highly to the credit of young artists that they strive to encourage thought; there is here much evidence of talent; the accompanying etchings are very satisfactory.

 The Secret Doctrine by H. P. Blavatsky, Vol 1, bk 1, sec 3
With some schools, Mahat is "the first-born" of Pradhana (undifferentiated substance, or the periodical aspect of Mulaprakriti, the root of Nature), which (Pradhana) is called Maya, the Illusion.
Fohat runs the Manus' (or Dhyan-Chohans') errands, and causes the ideal prototypes to expand from within without -- viz., to cross gradually, on a descending scale, all the planes from the noumenon to the lowest phenomenon, to bloom finally on the last into full objectivity -- the acme of illusion, or the grossest matter.
This "churning" relates to a period before the earth's formation, and is in direct connection with that other universal legend, the various and contradictory versions of which culminated in the Christian dogma of the "War in Heaven," and the fall of the Angels (see Book II., also Revelations chap.

Rossetti played mentor to Siddal’s blossoming artistic talent, and she acted as his muse – hers is the face in many of his paintings of the period.

The subjects were mostly medieval, reflecting the interest he held for this earlier period, an enthusiasm inflamed by the poetry of Alfred Tennyson.

He fell into a family the general tendency of which was to go down in the world, during one of its easier periods (John Dickens was now fifth clerk on £250 a year), and he always regarded himself as belonging by right to a comfortable, genteel, lower middleclass stratum of society.
His mother taught him to read; to his father he appeared very early in the light of a young prodigy, and by him Charles was made to sit on a tall chair and warble popular ballads, or even to tell stories and anecdotes for the benefit of fellow-clerks in the office.
Some one asked John Dickens, during the first eager period of curiosity as to the man behind “Pickwick,” where his son Charles was educated.

Thirteen years later he set up for himself as a stationer and printer and became one of the leading figures in the London trade.
As a printer his output included political writing, such as the Tory periodical The True Briton, the newspapers, Daily Journal (1736-7) and Daily Gazeteer (1738), together with twenty-six volumes of the Journals of the House of Commons and general law printing.
While preparing this Richardson became fascinated by the project, and a small sequence of letters from a daughter in service, asking her father’s advice when threatened by her master’s advances, formed the germ of Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded (1740-41).
