Genetic variation: We're more different than we thought
New research shows that at least 10 percent of genes in the human population can vary in the number of copies of DNA sequences they contain-a finding that alters current thinking that the DNA of any two humans is 99.9 percent similar in content and identity. view more (2006-11-27)
New tool for genome-wide association studies
Modern genotyping technologies offer new opportunities to explore how genes influence health and disease, but also present the challenge of analyzing huge amounts of genetic and clinical data. view more (2009-02-26)
NYU biologists map out early stages of embryo formation
A team of genomic researchers headed by biologists at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics, in collaboration with researchers at Harvard University, the Max Planck Institute, and Cenix Biosciences, has mapped out a preliminary molecular diagram of the early stages of embryo formation, offering for the first time a... view more...

Scripps scientists uncover mimicry at the molecular level that protects genome integrity
The new study, which was published on April 12, 2009, in an advanced online edition of the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, draws new parallels between the Rad60 DNA repair factor and SUMO, a small ubiquitin-like modifier, which are both essential for maintaining genome stability during replication. view more (2009-04-14)
Honey bee genome holds clues to social behavior
By studying the humble honey bee, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have come a step closer to understanding the molecular basis of social behavior in humans. view more (2006-10-24)
Genome info from 'plant destroyers' could save trees, beans and chocolate
An international team of scientists has published the first two genome sequences from a destructive group of plant pathogens called Phytophthora-a name that literally means "plant destroyer." view more (2006-09-05)
New map of variation in maize genetics holds promise for developing new varieties
A new study of maize has identified thousands of diverse genes in genetically inaccessible portions of the genome. New techniques may allow breeders and researchers to use this genetic variation to identify desirable traits and create new varieties that were not easily possible before. view more (2009-11-20)
Saved by junk DNA
VIB researchers linked to K.U.Leuven and Harvard University show that stretches of DNA previously believed to be useless 'junk' DNA play a vital role in the evolution of our genome. view more (2009-05-29)
Which came first, the chicken genome or the egg genome?
Which came first, the chicken genome or the egg genome? Researchers have answered a similarly vexing (and far more relevant) genomic question: Which of the thousands of long stretches of repeated DNA in the human genome came first? And which are the duplicates? view more (2007-10-09)
Learning how the pieces responsible for interpreting the human genome work
The human genome complete sequencing project in 2003 revealed the enormous instruction manual necessary to define a human being. However, there are still many unanswered questions. There are few indications on where the functional elements are found in this manual. view more (2009-04-22)
UVa-led team uncovers important secret in gene replication
A team of researchers led by University of Virginia Health System geneticists has uncovered a major secret in the mystery of how the DNA helix replicates itself time after time. view more (2007-06-14)
First whole-genome scan for links to OCD reveals evidence for genetic susceptibility
A federally funded team of researchers including several from Johns Hopkins have identified six regions of the human genome that might play a role in susceptibility to obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD. view more (2006-06-08)
European project opens way for better understanding of human diseases
In the edition of Nature dated Thursday 21 February 2002, an international team of scientists report their analysis of the genome of fission yeast (Schizosaccharomyces pombe). The project, largely funded through a EUR6.9 million from the European Commission, is likely to have major implications for the future of cancer and other bio-medical... view more... (2002-02-20)
Genetic study of Neanderthal DNA reveals early split between humans and Neanderthals
In the most thorough study to date of the Neanderthal genome, scientists suggest an early human-Neanderthal split. The two species have a common ancestry, say the authors, but do not share much else after evolving their separate ways. view more (2006-11-16)
Research provides first whole genome map of genetic variability in Parkinson's disease
Mayo Clinic researchers in collaboration with scientists at Perlegen Sciences, Inc. and funded by the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research have produced the first large-scale whole genome map of genetic variability associated with Parkinson's disease. view more (2005-09-14)
Duke-NIEHS team shows how DNA repairs may reshape the genome
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center and at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) have shown how broken sections of chromosomes can recombine to change genomes and spawn new species. view more (2008-08-14)
Unlocking genome of world's worst insect pest
Scientists from CSIRO and the University of Melbourne in Australia, and the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, are on the brink of a discovery which will facilitate the development of new, safe, more sustainable ways of controlling the world's worst agricultural insect pest - the moth, Helicoverpa armigera. view more (2008-06-18)
Promising Talents Of A Wild Bacterium
A wild strain of E. coli possessing completely original properties has been discovered in shea cake, a residue of a tropical food industry used in cosmetics, by IRD scientists working in microbial biotechnology found the strain, designated “ C2 ”, had the ability to transform certain polluting aromatic acids into other, non acid,... view more...

In a technical tour de force, Salk scientists take a global view of the epigenome
A collaboration between researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and the University of California at Los Angeles captured the genome-wide DNA methylation pattern of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana-the "laboratory rat" of the plant world-in one big sweep. view more (2006-09-01)
DOE Joint Genome Institute completes soybean genome
The U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI) has released a complete draft assembly of the soybean (Glycine max) genetic code, making it widely available to the research community to advance new breeding strategies for one of the world's most valuable plant commodities. view more (2008-12-09)
