One of the fastest-evolving pieces of DNA in the human genome is a gene linked to brain development. view more (2006-08-17)
Scientists harvest answers from genome of grain fungus
Evil forces thrive in an unstable environment. At least, that's the picture being painted in the first waves of data being reaped from the genome sequence of the fungal plant pathogen, Fusarium graminearum. view more (2007-09-07)
Cataloguing invisible life: Microbe genome emerges from lake sediment
When entrepreneurial geneticist Craig Venter sailed around the world on his yacht sequencing samples of seawater, it was an ambitious project to use genetics to understand invisible ecological communities. But his scientific legacy was disappointing - a jumble of mystery DNA fragments belonging to thousands of unknown organisms. view more (2008-08-18)
Mass Analysis of DNA from Whole Populations.
One of the world's leading scientists, Nobel Prize winner, Dr Sydney Brenner, has devised a new method for obtaining sequence information from thousands of genomes simultaneously. Current technologies can only analyse one genome at a time. view more (2005-04-20)
New reagents for genomic engineering of mouse models to understand human disease
The ability to specifically target and modify genes in the mouse allows researchers to use this small rodent to study how certain genes contribute to human disease. view more (2009-08-19)
Superbug genome sequenced
The genome of a newly-emerging superbug, commonly known as Steno, has just been sequenced. The results reveal an organism with a remarkable capacity for drug resistance. The research was carried out by scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute near Cambridge and the University of Bristol. view more (2008-05-07)
DNA repair mechanisms are concentrated in the active parts of the genome
Less than 10% of the human genome contains coded information in the form of genes. The 30,000-40,000 genes in the genome are found grouped in discrete regions of the chromosomes. Chemical agents and radiation habitually cause a large variety of injuries to the DNA which interferes in many cell processes, like transcription and replication, and... view more... (2002-10-01)
Genome circularization and RNA virus replication
As featured on the cover of the August 15th issue of G&D, an Argentinian research team, led by Dr. Andrea Gamarnik, report on their recent discovery of a novel mechanism of dengue virus replication. view more (2006-08-01)
Software developed by Boston College lab delivers speed and accuracy to genome research
It took a global corps of scientists approximately $500 million and 13 years to identify the more than 35,000 genes of the human genome. Five years later, Boston College Biologist Gabor Marth and his research team have developed software that can analyze half a million DNA sequences in 10 minutes. view more (2008-03-31)
Identifying cancer genes - will it really lead to better treatment?
Copenhagen, Denmark: A systematic trawl through the human genome looking for the abnormalities that drive cancer is already producing promising results, a scientist told ECCO 12 - The European Cancer Conference in Copenhagen today (Tuesday 23 September). Dr. Michael Stratton, Director of the Cancer Genome Project at the Wellcome Trust Sanger... view more... (2003-09-21)
Dog genome sequence and analysis published in Nature
An international research team led by scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard announced today the completion of a high-quality genome sequence of the domestic dog, together with a catalog of 2.5 million specific genetic differences across several dog breeds. view more (2005-12-08)
Scientists sequence DNA of woolly mammoth
Experts in ancient DNA from McMaster University (Canada) have teamed up with genome researchers from Penn State University (USA) for the investigation of permafrost bone samples from Siberia. view more (2005-12-20)
New collaboration on rice DNA variation study
Perlegen Sciences, Inc., and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) announced today that they will collaborate to identify DNA variation in fifteen rice strains. view more (2005-11-17)
Duckweed genome sequencing has global implications
Three plant biologists at Rutgers' Waksman Institute of Microbiology are obsessed with duckweed, a tiny aquatic plant with an unassuming name. Now they have convinced the federal government to focus its attention on duckweed's tremendous potential for cleaning up pollution, combating global warming and feeding the world. view more (2008-07-09)
Making sense of the genome
Almost every week we hear of a new genome sequence being completed, yet turning sequence information into knowledge about what individual genes do is very difficult. An article published in Journal of Biology this week will simplify this task, as it describes a new online tool that dramatically improves predictions of how individual genes are... view more...

Historians help compile record of 50,000 lives
Scholars at the University of Essex have contributed 75 biographies to the new Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, a 60-volume publication charting more than 50,000 lives. Researchers from six departments and centres at the University were among more than 12,500 contributors to the British Academy-funded project. view more (2005-02-01)
Sleep enforces the temporal sequence in memory
We have usually quite strong memories of past events like an exciting holiday or a jolly birthday party. However it is not clear how the brain keeps track of the temporal sequence in such memories: did Paul spill a glass of wine before or after Mary left the party? view more (2007-04-18)
Analysis of Lake Washington microbes shows the power of metagenomic approaches
Today's powerful sequencing machines can rapidly read the genomes of entire communities of microbes, but the challenge is to extract meaningful information from the jumbled reams of data. view more (2008-08-18)
The flourbeetle's genome sequenced for the first time
An international research consortium with the participation of a research team led by Professor Cornelis Grimmelikhuijzen from the Department of Biology, has sequenced the genome from the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. view more (2008-03-26)
Search for the 'on' switches may reveal genetic role in development and disease
A new resource that identifies regions of the human genome that regulate gene expression may help scientists learn about and develop treatments for a number of human diseases, according to researchers at Duke's Institute for Genome Sciences & Policy (IGSP). view more (2008-01-25)
