Protein Sequences: Not So Predictable After All
Scientists have believed for decades that the sequencing of the human genome would automatically yield the sequences of proteins, the functional products of genes, and thus lead to the unraveling of the mechanisms behind human cell biology and disease. However, a paper published in Science today by the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR)... view more... (2004-03-01)
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)
Genetic on-off switches pinpointed in human genome
In another step to decipher information in the human genome, scientists have discovered the location and sequence of over 10,000 DNA regions that function as genetic on-off switches, or "promoters" in human fibroblasts. view more (2005-07-01)
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)
Nanopore Method Could Revolutionize Genome Sequencing
A team led by physicists at the University of California, San Diego has shown the feasibility of a fast, inexpensive technique to sequence DNA as it passes through tiny pores. The advance brings personalized, genome-based medicine closer to reality. view more (2006-04-07)
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)
Mouse to man: The story of chromosomes
The complete sequencing of human chromosome 17 and mouse chromosome 11 offers unique insights into the evolution of the genome of higher mammals. view more (2006-04-20)
New Maize Map to Aid Plant Breeding Efforts
In a massive survey of genetic diversity in maize, also known as corn, researchers across the United States, have developed a gene map that should pave the way to significant improvements in a plant that is a major source of food, fuel, animal feed and fiber around the world. view more (2009-11-20)
Rapid, Functional, Genome-wide Drug Discovery Enabled
Munich, Germany, November 18th, 2003. Xantos Biomedicine AG, a leading functional biology and drug discovery company, announced that it has expanded its collection of full-length human cDNA clones in mammalian expression vectors to 35,000, representing one of the world's largest collections. The Xantos human cDNA collection covers individual cDNA... view more... (2003-11-18)
Inventory of Genes
Scientists at DKFZ screen fruit fly genome for cancer-relevant genes Dr. Michael Boutros of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum (German Cancer Research Center, DKFZ) and an international team of collaborators have been the first to screen an almost complete genome for genes that could play a role in cancer. The results have been published in the... view more... (2004-02-09)
Comparing chimp and human DNA
Scientists look to the chimpanzee genome to better understand what is uniquely human about our own. One goal is to find DNA elements that show evidence of rapid evolution in the human lineage. view more (2006-10-13)
Neutral evolution has helped shape our genome
Johns Hopkins researchers have added to the growing mound of evidence that many of the genetic bits and pieces that drive evolutionary changes do not confer any advantages or disadvantages to humans or other animals. view more (2007-07-10)
NIH-funded researchers sequence exomes of 12 people
In a pioneering effort that generated massive amounts of DNA sequence data from 12 people, a team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has demonstrated the feasibility and value of a new strategy for identifying relatively rare genetic variants that may cause or contribute to disease. view more (2009-08-17)
TGen investigators devise faster, cheaper way of analyzing the human genome
Investigators at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen) today announced a faster and less expensive way for scientists to find which genes might affect human health. view more (2008-09-15)
Tiny genetic differences have huge consequences: McGill researchers
A study led by McGill University researchers has demonstrated that small differences between individuals at the DNA level can lead to dramatic differences in the way genes produce proteins. view more (2008-01-21)
Handle with care: Telomeres resemble DNA fragile sites
Telomeres, the repetitive sequences of DNA at the ends of linear chromosomes, have an important function: They protect vulnerable chromosome ends from molecular attack. view more (2009-07-10)
Epigenetic changes discovered in major psychosis
Scientists have discovered epigenetic changes (i.e. chemical changes to a gene that do not alter the DNA sequence) in individuals with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. This is the first epigenome-wide investigation in psychiatric research, and this groundbreaking data may be a significant step on the journey to fully understanding major... view more... (2008-03-12)
Emory scientists develop new map of genetic variation in human genome
Emory University scientists have identified and created a map of more than 400,000 insertions and deletions (INDELs) in the human genome that signal a little-explored type of genetic difference among individuals. view more (2006-08-11)
Mapping the crocodile genome
The first ever genetic linkage map for a non-avian member of the Class Reptilia has been developed. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Genomics have constructed a first-generation genetic linkage map for the saltwater crocodile Crocodylus porosus. view more (2009-07-29)
Genomatix integrates genome-wide open chromatin from next generation sequencing
