Testicular tumors may explain why some diseases are more common in children of older fathers
A rare form of testicular tumour has provided scientists with new insights into how genetic changes (mutations) arise in our children. view more (2009-10-26)
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)
Turning fungus into fuel
A spidery fungus with a voracious appetite for military uniforms and canvas tents could hold the key to improvements in the production of biofuels, a team of government, academic and industry researchers has announced. view more (2008-05-05)
One species, many genomes
Faster growth, darker leaves, a different way of branching - wild varieties of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana are often substantially different from the laboratory strain of this small mustard plant, a favorite of many plant biologists. view more (2007-07-23)
New statistical method reveals surprises about our ancestry
A statistical approach to studying genetic variation promises to shed new light on the history of human migration. view more (2008-05-23)
GENO*™ : a French consortium for the development of an informatics platform for exploratory genomics
Genomics yield large amounts of complex data of various types (sequences, gene localization and expression, proteins,"¦). The exploitation of this information which ultimately leads to the analysis of gene function, requires tools to represent, crosscheck, organize and compare these data. view more (1999-12-13)
Researchers uncover new piece to the puzzle of human height
In studies involving more than 35,000 people and a survey across the entire human genome, an international team supported in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found evidence that common genetic variants recently linked to osteoarthritis may also play a minor role in human height. view more (2008-01-14)
Microbiology Today February 2003 issue
DNA50 and microbes This special issue commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of the structure of DNA by Watson and Crick. Microbes have always played an important role in DNA research and this issue, which features topics in modern molecular microbiology and microbial genomics, shows the enormous amount of progress made in the last... view more...

When Plants Think Alike
Biologists have discovered that a fundamental building block in the cells of flowering plants evolved independently, yet almost identically, on a separate branch of the evolutionary tree--in an ancient plant group called lycophytes that originated at least 420 million years ago. view more (2008-05-28)
Catching the common cold virus: BYU researchers coming down with the rhinovirus genome
A new study by Brigham Young University researchers on the virus behind nearly half of all cold infections explains how and where evolution occurs in the rhinovirus genome and what this means for possible vaccines. view more (2009-03-17)
Gut Ecology in Transplant Patients
Small-bowel transplant patients with an ileostomy -- an opening into their small bowel -- have a very different population of bacteria living in their gut than patients whose ileostomy has been closed, researchers from UC Davis and Georgetown University Medical Center have found. view more (2009-09-16)
Novel epigenetic markers of melanoma may herald new treatments for patients
Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, diagnosed in more than 50,000 new patients in the United States annually. While the rate of incidences continues to rise, survival rate has not improved and the race is on to find the genetic and cellular changes driving melanoma and to devise new means of detection and treatment. view more (2009-06-30)
Scientists reveal structure of gateways to gene control
Scientists at Penn State University will reveal in the 29 March 2007 issue of the journal Nature the first complete high-resolution map of important structures that control how genes are packaged and regulated throughout an entire genome. view more (2007-03-29)
Scientists decode genome of oral pathogen
Virginia Commonwealth University researchers have decoded the genome of a bacteria normally present in the healthy human mouth that can cause a deadly heart infection if it enters the bloodstream. view more (2007-04-06)
Fishing for the Origins of Genome Complexity
Biologists at Georgia Tech have provided scientific support for a controversial hypothesis that has divided the fields of evolutionary genomics and evolutionary developmental biology, popularly known as evo devo, for two years. view more (2005-12-16)
HIV-1's 'hijacking mechanism' pinpointed by McGill/JGH researchers
Researchers at McGill University and the affiliated Lady Davis Institute for Medical Research at Montreal's Jewish General Hospital - along with colleagues at the University of Manitoba and the University of British Columbia - may have found a chink in the armour of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), the microorganism which causes... view more...

Scientists sequence DNA of woolly mammoth
Experts in ancient DNA from McMaster University (Canada) have teamed up with genome researchers from Penn State University (USA) for the investigation of permafrost bone samples from Siberia. view more (2005-12-20)
Molecular fossils uncover link between viruses and the immune system
Researchers from the Viikki Biocenter, University of Helsinki, show that atomic structures can reveal evolutionary history of viruses in a similar fashion as fossils did for the dinosaurs and reptiles. Their article is published in the April 15 issue of Molecular Cell. view more (2005-04-14)
Candidate markers for gastric cancer
The sequencing of the human genome has opened the door for proteomics by providing a sequence-based framework for mining proteomes. view more (2008-10-29)
