Genes in rheumatoid arthritis
A paper published this week in the open access journal PLoS Medicine provides strong evidence that one specific part of the genome is associated with rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2007-09-18)
DNA variations linked to brain tumors
Mayo Clinic researchers and colleagues at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) have found a connection between DNA alterations on human chromosome 9 and aggressive brain cancer known as glioblastoma. view more (2009-07-06)
Chromosomal microarray analysis proves accurate
Two years and more than 2,000 samples after researchers at Baylor College of Medicine started to use a new gene-chip technology called chromosomal microarray analysis to look for potential genetic abnormalities in children, they find that it is remarkably sensitive in detecting abnormalities in individual chromosomes. view more (2007-03-30)
Tiny genetic differences have huge consequences: McGill researchers
A study led by McGill University researchers has demonstrated that small differences between individuals at the DNA level can lead to dramatic differences in the way genes produce proteins. view more (2008-01-21)
Scientists pool information to boost understanding of drug action
As a result of the Human Genome Project, scientists now know the human DNA codes for about 20,000-25,000 genes, each of which could be a target for the development of new medicines. However, most scientists believe that only about 10% of these genes are likely targets for the drugs of the future. view more (2005-12-01)
Complete sequence of rice genome announced
he journal Nature in a featured article today proclaimed the completion of the rice genome by the Plant Genome Initiative at Rutgers (PGIR) and other members of an international consortium. view more (2005-08-11)
Using the genomic shortcut to predict bacterial behavior
How do you study a pathogen that can't survive outside its host's cells? In a new study published in the open access journal PLoS Biology, Hiroyuki Ogata and colleagues show that sequencing and analyzing the genome of the bacteria Rickettsia felis provide valuable insights into the biology and behavior of this intracellular pathogen. view more (2005-07-05)
Third primate genome, the rhesus macaque, helps illuminate what makes us human
Researchers have sequenced the genome of the relatively ancient rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), providing perspective into how humans are genetically different from our primate relatives. view more (2007-04-13)

The structure of an entire HIV genome has been decoded for the first time by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. view more (2009-08-06)
DOE JGI Releases Latest Version of IMG
An enhanced version of the Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) data management system has been released by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI). IMG 1.1 contains 32 new public genomes and 14 new genomes sequenced by DOE JGI, bringing the total of genomes in IMG to 337. view more (2005-06-01)
Sequencing the cow's genetic code -- a new agricultural era dawns
Researchers from the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne, as well as the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics have been part of a major international project to sequence the bovine (cow) genome, a female Hereford cow named L1 Dominette. view more (2009-04-24)
Back to the future: Mastodon extends the time limit on DNA sequencing
In a new paper in the open access journal PLoS Biology, Michael Hofreiter from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, and colleagues from Switzerland and the United States, announce the sequencing of the complete mitochondrial genome of the mastodon (Mammut americanum), a recently extinct relative of the living... view more...

New Maize Map to Aid Plant Breeding Efforts
In a massive survey of genetic diversity in maize, also known as corn, researchers across the United States, have developed a gene map that should pave the way to significant improvements in a plant that is a major source of food, fuel, animal feed and fiber around the world. view more (2009-11-20)
Autoimmune Diseases And Genetics
Autoimmune diseases are quite complex and this is due to the fact that these illnesses do not depend on just one gene. Thus, in order to find a suitable treatment, it is not enough to identify a gene involved in the development of the disease - each and every one has to be identified. To this end, a number of strategies have been design; for... view more... (2004-07-19)
Rapid, Functional, Genome-wide Drug Discovery Enabled
Munich, Germany, November 18th, 2003. Xantos Biomedicine AG, a leading functional biology and drug discovery company, announced that it has expanded its collection of full-length human cDNA clones in mammalian expression vectors to 35,000, representing one of the world's largest collections. The Xantos human cDNA collection covers individual cDNA... view more... (2003-11-18)
Human genetic 'deserts' are teeming with significant life
Many of the areas of the human genome previously thought to be deserts are in fact teeming with life, a scientist will tell the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics. view more (2007-06-19)
Analysis of rhesus monkey genome uncovers genetic differences with humans, chimps
