'Pinball protons' created by ultraviolet rays and other causes can lead to DNA damage
Researchers have known for years that damaged DNA can lead to human diseases such as cancer, but how damage occurs-and what causes it-has remained less clear. view more (2006-05-18)
New research on mutation in yeast can enhance understanding of human diseases
Yeast, a model organism heavily relied upon for studying basic biological processes as they relate to human health, mutates in a distinctly different pattern than other model organisms, a finding that brings researchers closer to understanding the role of evolutionary genetics in human diseases and cancer. view more (2008-06-20)
DNA size a crucial factor in genetic mutations, study finds
Researchers at Stanford University have created a larger-than-normal DNA molecule that is copied almost as efficiently as natural DNA. view more (2005-10-27)
Cataloging the Structural Variations in Human Genetics
A major new effort to uncover the medium- and large-scale genetic differences between humans may soon reveal DNA sequences that contribute to a wide range of diseases. view more (2007-05-10)
DNA Model Recognised As New Guinness World Record: Massive model seeks new home
The world's largest model of DNA, built at the Potteries Shopping Centre in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday 9 March, has today been recognised as a new world record by Guinness World Records. The 10.78 metre model, containing over 1500 atoms, will be on display at the Potteries Shopping Centre until 18 March, after which it will be seeking a new home.... view more... (2002-03-12)
Surprisingly, Chemists Find, Some Solvents Can Alter Chemical Bonds
New University at Buffalo research demonstrates that some solvents can significantly enhance certain acid-base interactions and strengthen the bonding interaction between two molecules when one is electron-deficient and one is electron-rich. view more (2007-07-25)
Novel mechanism for DNA replication discovered
Since the discovery of the structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, the paradigm for DNA replication has stated that the DNA itself codes for the appropriate pairings for replication. view more (2005-09-30)
Emory scientists develop new map of genetic variation in human genome
Emory University scientists have identified and created a map of more than 400,000 insertions and deletions (INDELs) in the human genome that signal a little-explored type of genetic difference among individuals. view more (2006-08-11)
Hepatitis C helicase unwinds DNA in a spring-loaded, 3-step process
The process by which genes are duplicated is mysterious and complex, involving a cast of characters with diverse talents and the ability to play well with others in extremely close quarters. view more (2007-07-27)
Virginia Tech chemists create new polymers by adding DNA base pairs
Chemists at Virginia Tech are creating new polymers by adding DNA base pairs. Attributes include improved stretchable behavior and self-healing polymer films and coatings. view more (2006-09-13)
Chancellor has the opportunity to deliver for science
SBS today welcomed the Chancellor of the Exchequer`s unequivocal statement that the science base will receive extra investment in next month`s spending review. view more (2002-06-10)
A brand new Microcar
The basque technological centre TEKNIKER has developed a brand new microcar to test all its capabilities in the micromanufacture. It is driven by an electric motor, the smallest in the market with an external diameter of 1.9 mm and longitude of 5 mm, a stator coil wound with 30 µm diameter wire and a rotor with permanent magnets. This micromotor... view more... (2004-07-29)
Researchers Find Synthetic Molecules That May Literally Be The Key To “Locking Away” Unwanted DNA
Research chemists have a found a class of synthetic molecules that could quite literally act as a key which could lock away sections of DNA into a closely wound coil preventing proteins from interacting with particular sections of DNA code. By locking up the DNA in this way scientists could stop particular sequences of DNA from activating... view more... (2002-04-15)
Cluster in orbit
Following the disappointment yesterday when the first attempt to launch the first pair of Cluster satellites was postponed, hundreds of scientists and engineers throughout Europe breathed a huge sigh of relief following their successful launch today. They are now looking forward to the launch of satellites three and four in 3 weeks time.... view more... (2000-07-16)
Scientists find clue to mechanisms of gene signaling and regulation
Scientists have discovered a pattern in the DNA sequence of the mouse genome that may play a fundamental part in the way DNA molecules regulate gene expression. view more (2007-08-23)
The high mountain station in the Pamirs was destroyed by bandits
More than thirty years ago V.K.Nosdruhin, the expedition chief of the Central Asia Hydrometeorological Institute, proposed to organize a stationary base to observe glaciers. The base was placed on the Abramov glacier in the Pamirs. This place, in the Alaisky ridge, is a most beautiful one. The observatory with three subdivisions was constructed by... view more...

Baylor researchers unravel mystery of DNA conformation
An iconic photograph of Nobel laureates Drs. Francis Crick and James Watson show the pair discussing with a rigid model of the famous double helix. view more (2009-07-14)
Typhoid carriers: a Salmonella gene mutation?
Salmonella enterica causes approximately 16 million cases of typhoid fever worldwide, killing around 500,000 per year. One in thirty of the survivors, however, become carriers, such as Typhoid Mary who caused several typhoid outbreaks in New York City at the beginning of the last century. In carriers the bacteria remain hidden inside cells and the... view more... (2002-06-25)
MIT develops new way to fuse cells
MIT engineers have developed a new, highly efficient way to pair up cells so they can be fused together into a hybrid cell. view more (2009-01-05)
Who found some new mechanisms of HBV virulence?
This dreadful HBV is small in size. The genome of this virus is a partial double stranded circle. When made fully double stranded, this genome carries about 3000 base pairs, compared to 200 kilo base pairs of the genome of the smallpox virus. view more (2008-02-25)
