Bee Genome Information Housed at Texas A&M University
The cluster of electronics looks mundane enough. Twenty computers hum away, blue lights flashing. But the data these computers are processing, though, may help cure disease and put food on tables throughout the world. view more (2006-10-30)
Desert plant may hold key to surviving food shortage
The plant, Kalanchoe fedtschenkoi, is unique because, unlike normal plants, it captures most of its carbon dioxide at night when the air is cooler and more humid, making it 10 times more water-efficient than major crops such as wheat. Scientists will use the latest next-generation DNA sequencing to analyse the plant's genetic code and understand... view more... (2008-06-20)
Supersized 'island' of resistance genes discovered in an infectious bacterium
Researchers have discovered a cluster of 45 genes coding for antibacterial drug resistance in the bacterium, Acinetobacter baumannii, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections worldwide. view more (2006-01-13)
New technique could dramatically lower costs of DNA sequencing
Using computer simulations, researchers at the University of Illinois have demonstrated a strategy for sequencing DNA by driving the molecule back and forth through a nanopore capacitor in a semiconductor chip. The technique could lead to a device that would read human genomes quickly and affordably. view more (2007-12-13)
Crop plants and domestic animals piggy-back on the Human Genome Project
A new £4.5M funding initiative to exploit developments in genome analysis of crops and livestock has been launched by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). The scheme Genome Analysis of Agriculturally Important Traits (GAIT) will support research to identify, characterise and manipulate genes for crucial... view more... (1997-11-21)
Next gen sequencing technology pinpoint 'on-off switches' in genomes
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the University of California, San Diego have developed a set of molecular tools that provide important insight into the complex genomes of multicellular organisms. view more (2009-02-13)
Trichoplax genome sequenced -- 'rosetta stone' for understanding evolution
Yale molecular and evolutionary biologists in collaboration with Department of Energy scientists produced the full genome sequence of Trichoplax, one of nature's most primitive multicellular organisms, providing a new insight into the evolution of all higher animals. view more (2008-09-04)
Mystery E. coli genes essential for survival of many species
Scientists have shown that E. coli - one of the best known and extensively studied organisms in the world - remains an enigma that may hold the key to human diseases, such as cancer. view more (2009-07-13)
Exploring Standards to Advance Microbial Genomics
Microbes contribute to manifold human endeavors ranging from bioenergy to agriculture to medicine. Moreover, they make the Earth's biogeochemical cycles go round, a prerequisite for all life on the planet. view more (2009-07-10)
Sequencing of the oyster mushroom genome
Professor of Microbiology at the Public University of Navarre, Antonio Gerardo Pisabarro de Lucas, is leading an international project to sequence the genome of the oyster mushroom. view more (2006-10-05)
Woolly mammoth genome comes to life
A McMaster University geneticist, in collaboration with genome researchers from Penn State University and the American Museum of Natural History has made history by mapping a portion of the woolly mammoth's genome. view more (2005-12-23)
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)
Bovine genome provides clues to possible new developments
Scientists from Texas AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM) are part of a consortium of researchers who have developed an annotated sequence of the cattle genome which could lead to better disease resistance and higher quality meat for consumers, the researchers say. view more (2009-04-24)
ISU researchers help map first plant-parasitic nematode genome sequence
There are numerous plant-parasitic nematodes in the world, but only a handful are responsible for the largest part of an estimated $157 billion in agricultural damage globally every year. Nematodes are small worms that burrow into plant roots and feed off living cells. view more (2008-09-05)
Scientists announce major step in making the first complete gene map of a plant.

DNA of Uncultured Organisms Sequenced Using Novel Single-Cell Approach
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) and the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences have assembled high quality, contamination-free draft genomes of uncultured biodegrading microorganisms using a novel single cell genome sequencing approach. view more (2009-04-22)
New behavior may use old genes
Though you may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks, ASU researchers have found that evolution may have taught old genes new tricks in the development of social behavior in honeybees. view more (2006-10-26)
Research Upsetting Some Notions about Honey Bees
Genetic research, based on information from the recently released honey bee genome, has toppled some long-held beliefs about the honey bee that colonized Europe and the U.S. view more (2006-12-12)
U.S.-German Research Consortium Sequences Genome of Versatile Soil Microbe
In a successful transatlantic collaboration, scientists at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) in Rockville, MD, and at four research centers in Germany have deciphered and analyzed the complete genome of a bacterium, Pseudomonas putida, that has the potential to be used to remediate organic pollutants in soil as well as to help promote... view more...
