Genome comparison of 12 fruit fly species
Researchers from the UAB Genomics, Bioinformatics and Evolution Group participated in an international research that has resulted in the completion of the genomes of ten new fruit fly species. The study also includes new data on the evolution of the twelve currently known species during the past sixty million years. view more (2007-11-16)

Establishing standard definitions for genome sequences
In 1996, researchers from major genome sequencing centers around the world convened on the island of Bermuda and defined a finished genome as a gapless sequence with a nucleotide error rate of one or less in 10,000 bases. view more (2009-10-09)
Sequences reveal benign origin of deadly plant pathogens
An international team of researchers has published the draft genome sequences of two deadly plant pathogens, Phytophthora ramorum and Phytophthora sojae. view more (2006-09-01)
Estimation of isolation times in the Drosophila simulans complex
The Drosophila simulans species complex continues to serve as an important model system for the study of new species formation. The complex is comprised of the cosmopolitan species, D. simulans, and two island endemics, D. mauritiana and D. sechellia. view more (2008-06-26)
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)
Thumbs up -- a tiny ancestral remnant lends developmental edge to humans
Subtle genetic changes that confer an evolutionary advantage upon a species, such as the dexterity characteristic of the human hand, while difficult to detect and even harder to reproduce in a model system, have nevertheless generated keen interest amongst evolutionary biologists. view more (2008-09-05)
Sequencing the cow's genetic code -- a new agricultural era dawns
Researchers from the Universities of Geneva and Lausanne, as well as the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics have been part of a major international project to sequence the bovine (cow) genome, a female Hereford cow named L1 Dominette. view more (2009-04-24)
STN International Launches New Biosequence Database

Scientists explore chicken genome to reduce animal testing
Cultured chicken cells and fertilised eggs could soon replace mice in a range of laboratory experiments, according to British scientists involved in a major new research project announced today. Scientists, from Nottingham and Dundee Universities, UMIST and the Roslin Institute, are planning to put together a chicken 'gene catalogue' that will... view more... (2001-10-12)
University of Iowa scientists explore function of 'junk DNA'
University of Iowa scientists have made a discovery that broadens understanding of a rapidly developing area of biology known as functional genomics and sheds more light on the mysterious, so-called "junk DNA" that makes up the majority of the human genome. view more (2006-11-14)
Susceptibility to Crohn's disease — an important new clue
Crohn's disease is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder of the intestinal tract that affects an estimated 0.15% of people in the developed world. view more (2007-04-23)
Scientists to assess effects of multiple copies of genes on disease risk
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and the biotech firm Nimblegen Systems Inc. have successfully tested a technique for identifying newly recognized DNA variations that may influence disease risk. view more (2007-01-31)
Malaria, potato famine pathogen share surprising trait
Two wildly different pathogens — one that infects vegetables, the other infecting humans—essentially use the same protein code to get their disease-causing proteins into the cells of their respective hosts. view more (2006-05-30)
Whole genome promoter mapping - Human Genome Project v2.0?
nvestigators from the University California, San Diego (UCSD) Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) and NimbleGen Systems have developed an efficient method to identify thousands of regulatory sequences in the human genome, according to a study published today in Nature. view more (2005-06-30)
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)
LSU scientists develop new theory about human genome evolution
A group of LSU researchers, led by biological sciences Professor Mark Batzer, have unraveled the details of a 25-million-year-old evolutionary process in the human genome. Their study focused on the origin and spread of transposable elements in the genome, many of which are known to be related to certain genetic disorders, such as hemophilia. view more (2005-07-01)
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...
