Mapping a clan of mobile selfish genes
Much of human DNA is the genetic equivalent of e-mail spam: short repeated sequences that have no obvious function other than making more of themselves.   view more (2008-10-23)

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... 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)

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... 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... view more (2002-05-06)
