10 per cent of human genome is target for new drugs
Around 10 per cent of the human genome can be targeted for the development of new drugs, according to top pharmaceutical industry scientists speaking at the BA Festival of Science at the University of Glasgow today [3rd September 2001]. Speaking at the From genes and cells to healthcare forum organised by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences... view more... (2001-08-30)
Chicken genome will help our understanding of humans and improve agriculture
The first full DNA sequence of the chicken (Gallus gallus) genome is published today in the journal Nature. UK scientists have worked closely with 170 researchers from 49 institutes worldwide, to interpret the genome of the chicken. They believe it will help us to understand more about the biology of chickens and will also give us further insights... view more... (2004-12-07)

The clustering of Hox genes, involved in the determination of body segments, is not necessary for their proper function
The Hox genes (also known as homeotic genes) play a crucial role in the development of animals, being involved in the determination of segment identity along the body axis. These genes were discovered in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster 90 years ago and have been found later in all animals, including humans. The Hox genes are arranged in the... view more...
