University of Sheffield plays crucial role in sequencing chicken genome
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have played a major role in sequencing the chicken genome, published in Nature and Genome Research on Thursday 9 December. The chicken is the first farm animal to be successfully sequenced, as well as being the first bird. view more (2004-12-07)
Pufferfish genome unveiled
An international team of scientists based in Cambridge UK, Singapore and California today (26 July 2002) announced the publication in Science of their work describing the sequencing and preliminary analysis of the genome of the Japanese pufferfish, Fugu rubripes. This marks the first publicly funded vertebrate genome to be published after the... view more... (2002-07-23)

Rhythmic genomics -- the yeast metronome and the walk of life
New genome sequence information from the humble baker's yeast has revealed surprising variation in a set of genes that can be thought of as nature's oldest clock. view more (2009-04-08)
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 causing disease. view more (2005-12-16)
Draft potato genome based on unique potato variety
The Potato Genome Sequencing Consortium (PGSC), an international team of scientists from industry and academia in 14 countries, has released a draft sequence of the potato genome with the help of a Virginia Tech researcher. view more (2009-09-28)
A Genome May Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
With the costs of genome sequencing rapidly decreasing, and with the infrastructure now developed for almost anyone with access to a computer to cheaply store, access, and analyze sequence information, emphasis is increasingly being placed on ways to apply genome data to real world problems, including reducing dependency on fossil fuel. view more (2009-05-13)
All Eyes and Ears on the Corn Genome
A consortium of researchers led by the Genome Sequencing Center (GSC) at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., announced today the completion of a draft sequence of the corn genome. view more (2008-03-14)
One man's junk may be a genomic treasure
Scientists have only recently begun to speculate that what's referred to as "junk" DNA - the 96 percent of the human genome that doesn't encode for proteins and previously seemed to have no useful purpose - is present in the genome for an important reason. view more (2007-07-13)
