Bigelow Laboratory Scientists develop new approach to study marine microbes
Drs. Michael Sieracki and Ramunas Stepanauskas, scientists at Bigelow Laboratory, have proven a new approach of obtaining genetic codes of ocean microbes, based on the analysis of individual unicellular organisms. view more (2007-05-22)
Phoenix rising: Scientists resuscitate a 5 million-year-old retrovirus
A team of scientists has reconstructed the DNA sequence of a 5-million-year-old retrovirus and shown that it is able to produce infectious particles. view more (2006-10-31)
DOE JGI releases enhanced Genome Data Management System IMG 2.1 marking 2-year anniversary
As interest in the rising number of newly characterized microbial genomes mounts, powerful computational tools become critical for the management and analysis of these data to enable strategies for such challenges as harvesting the potential of carbon-neutral bioenergy sources and coping with global climate change. view more (2007-03-19)
Genetic 'fellow traveler' discovered in Alzheimer's
A new gene that influences susceptibility to late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) has been identified by an international research team that analyzed the genomes of more than a thousand people with and without the disorder. view more (2007-06-07)
U of Minn researchers discover genetic cancer link between humans and dogs
Cancer researchers at the University of Minnesota and North Carolina State University have found that humans and dogs share more than friendship and companionship - they also share the same genetic basis for certain types of cancer. view more (2008-02-29)
Genomes reveal bacterial lifestyles: Research
Sampling just a few genes can reveal not only the "lifestyle" of marine microbes but of their entire environments, new research suggests. view more (2009-09-08)
After dinosaurs, mammals rise but their genomes get smaller
Evidence buried in the chromosomes of animals and plants strongly suggests only one group -- mammals -- have seen their genomes shrink after the dinosaurs' extinction. view more (2009-07-28)
Duke-NIEHS team shows how DNA repairs may reshape the genome
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center and at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) have shown how broken sections of chromosomes can recombine to change genomes and spawn new species. view more (2008-08-14)
Genome sequencing is for ecologists, too
An organism widely used for genetics-versus-environment studies has joined the panoply of mice, rats, dogs, humans and other species whose entire genomes have been sequenced. view more (2006-01-18)
Genome research centre opens on University of Sussex campus
Eight teams of cancer researchers have moved into the first research laboratory to be built on the University of Sussex campus for 30 years. Researchers in the purpose-built Genome Damage and Stability Centre are working on the human body's most precious possessions - genomes - which contain the genetic blueprint that tells every part of the body... view more...

From genome to therapy: integrating new technologies with drug development
The sequencing of human and other genomes has accelerated dramatically in recent years due, in large part, to the continuous development of increasingly powerful sequencing technologies. Indeed, complete genomes have now been sequenced, a feat unthinkable only a decade ago. We are entering an era in which the emphasis must now be on strategies to... view more... (1999-05-27)
Technique enables efficient gene splicing in human embryonic stem cells
A novel technique allows researchers to efficiently and precisely modify or introduce genes into the genomes of human embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, according to Whitehead scientists. view more (2009-08-14)
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)
Bacteria Genome Research Could Save Orchards and Assist Blood Transfusions
Research led by the University Warwick into the genomes of two bacteria could save orchards from a previously almost incurable disease and also assist in treating complications arising from human blood transfusions. view more (2007-08-21)
Massive project reveals shortcomings of modern genome analysis
The sequencing and comparison of 12 fruit fly genomes -- the result of a massive collaboration of hundreds of scientists from more than 100 institutions in 16 countries -- has thrust forward researchers' understanding of fruit flies, a popular animal model in science. view more (2007-11-08)
The world`s most stable genome has been identified in aphid endosymbionts
Bacteria that reproduce inside aphids have not changed their genetic make-up for the last 50-70 million years. This makes the genomes of these bacteria the most stable of all organisms yet studied. This finding is presented by a team of scientists at Uppsala University, Sweden, in the latest issue of the scientific journal Science. Under the... view more... (2002-06-28)
Gene regulation in humans is closer than expected to simple organisms
Gene networks are some of the most basic features of a living organism. An external or internal stimulus activates some genes, which in turn control others genes whose activity turns on or off various biological processes (such as the cell cycle, energy production, DNA repair, cellular suicide etc). view more (2007-08-30)
Experimental evolution in robots probes the emergence of biological communication
Using an ingenious approach involving virtual robots that possess evolvable genomes, researchers have identified key factors that may play important roles in determining the manner in which communication arises during the evolution of social organisms. view more (2007-02-23)
Powerful genome ID method extended to humans
A mathematical discovery has extended the reach of a novel genome mapping method to humans, potentially giving cancer biology a faster and more cost-effective tool than traditional DNA sequencing. view more (2006-10-10)
Genome archaeology illuminates the genetic engineering debate
Genome Research's cover story for Oct. 2 tells a tale of "genome archaeology" by genetic researchers who dug deeply into the long history of maize and rice. view more (2006-10-04)
