Researchers publish first marsupial genome sequence
An international team, led by researchers at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, and supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced the publication of the first genome of a marsupial, belonging to a South American species of opossum. view more (2007-05-10)
New methods offer insight into regulatory DNA
Through the Human Genome Project, the HapMap Project and other efforts, we are beginning to identify genes that are modified in some diseases. More difficult to measure and identify are the regulatory regions in DNA - the 'managers' of genes - that control gene activity and might be important in causing disease. view more (2005-12-16)
Cracking the genetic code for control of gene expression
Molecular biologists, developmental biologists and computer scientists at the Universtity of Helsinki, Finland, came together to advance towards cracking the code for how gene expression is controlled. view more (2006-01-13)
Scientists reveal evolutionary intricacies of Rickettsia pathogens
Scientists from the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) at Virginia Tech and the University of Maryland School of Medicine have unveiled some of the evolutionary intricacies of rickettsial pathogens by analyzing over a decade's worth of genomic data. view more (2008-04-29)
Genetic clues to Sodalis deepens knowledge of bacterial diseases
By sequencing the genome of the symbiotic bacterium Sodalis, which lives off the major disease-transmitting insect, the tsetse fly, researchers at Yale School of Medicine have come a step closer to understanding how microbial pathogens cause disease. view more (2005-12-15)
Autism gene identified by researchers at Yale working with a global research consortium
Yale School of Medicine autism experts Fred Volkmar, M.D. and Ami Klin are part of a global research consortium from 19 countries to identify a gene and a region of a chromosome that may lead to autism in children. view more (2007-03-14)
Scientists explore chicken genome to reduce animal testing
Cultured chicken cells and fertilised eggs could soon replace mice in a range of laboratory experiments, according to British scientists involved in a major new research project announced today. Scientists, from Nottingham and Dundee Universities, UMIST and the Roslin Institute, are planning to put together a chicken 'gene catalogue' that will... view more... (2001-10-12)
Human RecQ helicases, homologous recombination and genomic instability
Two independent papers in the December 1st issue of G&D detail how human RecQ helicases regulate homologous recombination and protect genome stability. view more (2007-11-15)
LSU scientists develop new theory about human genome evolution
A group of LSU researchers, led by biological sciences Professor Mark Batzer, have unraveled the details of a 25-million-year-old evolutionary process in the human genome. Their study focused on the origin and spread of transposable elements in the genome, many of which are known to be related to certain genetic disorders, such as hemophilia. view more (2005-07-01)
Scientists sequence Nature's antibiotic factory
The genome sequence of Streptomyces coelicolor, one of the family of common soil bacteria that produce more than two thirds of the world's antibiotic medicines, will be published in the journal Nature this week. Streptomyces are almost ubiquitous in the soils and are responsible for its familiar 'earthy' smell. The genome data, collected by... view more... (2002-05-06)
Latest Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) Data Management System Update Release
Version 2.4 of the Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) data management system, a resource provided to the scientific community for microbial genome data analysis, has now been released. view more (2007-12-06)
Completed genome set to transform the cow
The ability of scientists to improve health and disease management of cattle and enhance the nutritional value of beef and dairy products has received a major boost with the release this week of the most complete sequence of the cow genome ever assembled. view more (2006-08-17)
Mate selection more biologically determined in some human populations
Some human populations may rely on biological factors in addition to social factors when selecting a mate. In a recent study, published September 12 in the open-access journal PLoS Genetics, scientists in China, France, and the United Kingdom report genomic data showing that immunity traits may be involved in mate choice in some human populations. view more (2008-09-12)
Neutral evolution has helped shape our genome
Johns Hopkins researchers have added to the growing mound of evidence that many of the genetic bits and pieces that drive evolutionary changes do not confer any advantages or disadvantages to humans or other animals. view more (2007-07-10)
Biologists develop genome-wide map of miRNA-mRNA interactions
Researchers at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics and the University of California, Berkeley have used computational analyses to predict a genome-wide map of microRNA (miRNA) targets in the animal model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). view more (2006-03-09)
Horse genome assembled
The first draft of the horse genome sequence has been deposited in public databases and is freely available for use by biomedical and veterinary researchers around the globe, leaders of the international Horse Genome Sequencing Project announced today. view more (2007-02-08)
University of Washington researchers play leading role in major study of human genome function
Scientists at the University of Washington and other members of an international consortium have completed a multi-year research effort that dramatically boosts understanding of how the human genome functions. view more (2007-06-14)
Iowa State researcher studies gene families to explore diversity and evolution
Theoretical biologist Stephen Proulx studies gene families to explore how genomes become diverse and evolve. view more (2006-08-01)
Worm genome offers clues to evolution of parasitism
The genome of a humble worm that dines on the microbial organisms covering the carcasses of dead beetles may provide clues to the evolution of parasitic worms, including those that infect humans, say scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the Max-Planck Institute for Developmental Biology in Germany. view more (2008-09-24)
Inventory of Genes
Scientists at DKFZ screen fruit fly genome for cancer-relevant genes Dr. Michael Boutros of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research Center, DKFZ) and an international team of collaborators have been the first to screen an almost complete genome for genes that could play a role in cancer. The results have been published in the... view more... (2004-02-09)
