UCSD Study Shows Junk DNA Has Evolutionary Importance
Genetic material derisively called "junk" DNA because it does not contain the instructions for protein-coding genes and appears to have little or no function is actually critically important to an organism's evolutionary survival, according to a study conducted by a biologist at UCSD. view more (2005-10-20)
Superbug genome sequenced
The genome of a newly-emerging superbug, commonly known as Steno, has just been sequenced. The results reveal an organism with a remarkable capacity for drug resistance. The research was carried out by scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge and the University of Bristol. view more (2008-05-07)
New Multi-Million Euro Project Forges Tools For Biotechnology
In order to be able to use newly acquired knowledge about the human genome for medical purposes, methods are needed to quickly examine patients' genes and proteins. Professor Ulf Landegren of Uppsala University is leading a European research project to develop the molecular tools needed. The entire human genome has now been charted, and we have... view more...

NC State Researchers Get to Root of Nematode Genome
North Carolina State University scientists and colleagues have completed the genome sequence and genetic map of one of the world's most common and destructive plant parasites - Meloidogyne hapla, a microscopic, soil-dwelling worm known more commonly as the northern root-knot nematode. view more (2008-09-24)
LSU professor involved in genome sequencing of the first marsupial
Since the launch of the Human Genome Project, which released a first draft of the entire sequence of human DNA in 2001, many researchers have dedicated themselves to creating a library of comprehensive, species-specific genetic sequence "maps" available for study. view more (2007-05-10)

Improved statistical tools reveal many linked loci
An innovative new statistical method, described in the open-access journal PLoS Biology, streamlines the computation required to identify all the potential locations in the genome that influence a particular physical trait, or phenotype. view more (2005-07-26)
Keep genome data freely accessible (p 1099)
This week's lead editorial discusses the benefits and potential risks of allowing genomic information to be freely available on the internet-and supports the recent report by the US National Research Council recommending that such information should remain freely accessible to all. view more (2004-09-22)
Children's Hospital researchers identify genetic mutation that may predict organ rejection
Using a novel combination of cutting-edge technologies to scan the human genome, researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a genetic mutation that identifies transplant recipients who experience rejection. view more (2008-09-16)
Technique traces origins of disease genes in mixed human populations

Poplar DNA code cracked - a step in combating global warming?
Ghent - Forests cover 30% of the world's land area, house two thirds of life on earth, and are responsible for 90% of the biomass on dry land. So, the impact of trees on our daily life is enormous. Now, an international consortium - which includes researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) at Ghent University -... view more... (2004-09-22)
