Covering the bases: Quantum effect may hold promise for low-cost DNA sequencing, sensor applications
A ghostly property of matter, called quantum tunneling, may aid the quest for accurate, low-cost genomic sequencing, according to a new paper in Nature Nanotechnology Letters by Stuart Lindsay and his collaborators at the Biodesign Institute of Arizona State University. view more (2009-03-23)
DNA sequence of Rhesus macaque has evolutionary, medical implications
The completed DNA sequence of the rhesus macaque - an Old World monkey - has advanced understanding of primate evolution and will enhance medical research in neuroscience, behavioral biology, reproductive physiology, endocrinology, heart and blood vessel disease and immunodeficiency. view more (2007-04-13)
Stowers Researchers Develop Whole Genome Sequencing Approach for Mutation Discovery
The Stowers Institute's Hawley Lab and Molecular Biology Facility have developed a "whole-genome sequencing approach" to mapping mutations in fruit flies. view more (2009-05-06)
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)
How To Uncover the Secrets of Disease-Relevant Proteins
Cancer researchers have developed a guide for piecing together the jigsaw puzzle of ge-nome research To elucidate cellular mechanisms that lead to diseases such as cancer is a big challenge of biomedicine. Scientists of the Division of Molecular Genome Analysis headed by Professor Annemarie Poustka, German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), have... view more... (2004-12-23)
Wild weather forces farmers to adapt
Around the world, extreme climatic conditions are forcing farmers to rethink current cropping system strategies. To maximize crop production in the face of variable temperatures and precipitation, scientists say farmers may want to adopt a system in which crop sequencing decisions are based upon weather patterns and management goals each year. view more (2007-07-30)
Role of autophagy in tumorigenesis
In the June 1 issue of G&D, Dr. Eileen White and colleagues at Rutgers University/University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/Cancer Institute of New Jersey, report, for the first time, that the cellular self-digesting process of autophagy can protect genome integrity - lending new insight into the seemingly contradictory roles of... view more...

Genetic variation: We're more different than we thought
New research shows that at least 10 percent of genes in the human population can vary in the number of copies of DNA sequences they contain-a finding that alters current thinking that the DNA of any two humans is 99.9 percent similar in content and identity. view more (2006-11-27)
Dana Farber and 454 life sciences announce breakthrough in DNA sequencing for cancer research
454 Life Sciences Corporation, a majority-owned subsidiary of CuraGen Corporation (Nasdaq: CRGN), in collaboration with scientists at Dana Farber Cancer Center and Broad Institute, today reported a new method for the detection of cancer gene mutations present at extremely low levels. view more (2006-06-26)
Tool Helps Identify Gene Function in Soybeans, Could Lead to Better Crop Performance, say MU Researchers
In the race for bioengineered crops, sequencing the genome could be considered the first leg in a multi-leg relay. view more (2008-12-02)
UD leads $5.3-million research project on rice epigenetics
Using a novel "deep sequencing" technology that can in one fell swoop decode 50 million sequences representing well over a billion bases of DNA, a research team led by University of Delaware scientists is working to unmask where, why and how certain genes are switched on or off in rice--a crop vital to the world's food supply. view more (2007-09-11)
WCMC-Q researchers unlock genetic secrets of date palm
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar have mapped a draft version of the date palm genome, unlocking many of its genetic secrets. view more (2009-09-16)
Decoded gene sequence of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana
For the very first time, the genetic make-up of a planktonic marine alga has been sequenced. During this process, a team of international scientists found unexpected metabolic pathways in the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana. The results will be published in the scientific journal 'Science' this week. view more (2004-10-01)
Genome of yellow fever/dengue fever mosquito sequenced
Developing new strategies to prevent and control yellow fever and dengue fever has become more possible with the completion of the first draft of the genome sequence of Aedes aegypti mosquito by scientists led by Vishvanath Nene at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) and David Severson at the University of Notre Dame. view more (2007-05-18)
200,000 rice mutants available worldwide for scientific investigation
Scientists across the world are building an extensive repository of genetically modified rice plants in the hope of understanding the function of the approximately 57,000 genes that make up the genome of Oryza sativa. view more (2009-03-05)
The human immune system may limit future evolution
Scientists from Imperial College London have suggested why the human genome may possess far fewer genes than previously estimated before the human genome project was begun. Research published in the July issue of Trends in Immunology, shows how a more advanced immune system in humans could explain why the human genome may have only a slightly... view more...
