Genes from tiny algae shed light on big role managing carbon in world's oceans
Scientists from two-dozen research organizations led by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute (MBARI) have decoded genomes of two algal strains, highlighting the genes enabling them to capture carbon and maintain its delicate balance in the oceans. view more (2009-04-10)
Faster, cheaper way to find disease genes in human genome passes initial test
University of Washington (UW) researchers have successfully developed a novel genome-analysis strategy for more rapid, lower cost discovery of possible gene-disease links. view more (2009-08-18)
First big influenza genome study reveals flu evolution
On the eve of the 2005-06 flu season, scientists at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) have captured influenza evolution in action. view more (2005-10-06)
Improved method for comparing genomes as well as written text
Taking a hint from the text comparison methods used to detect plagiarism in books, college papers and computer programs, University of California, Berkeley, researchers have developed an improved method for comparing whole genome sequences. view more (2009-01-29)
Scientists show that mitochondrial DNA variants are linked to risk factors for type 2 diabetes
Today, researchers report for the first time that genetic variants in mitochondria-energy-producing structures harboring DNA that are inherited only from the mother-are directly linked to metabolic markers for type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-08-13)
Third primate genome, the rhesus macaque, helps illuminate what makes us human
Researchers have sequenced the genome of the relatively ancient rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), providing perspective into how humans are genetically different from our primate relatives. view more (2007-04-13)
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)
Ancestral genome of present-day African great apes & humans had burst of DNA sequence duplication
The genome of the evolutionary ancestor of humans and present-day apes underwent a burst of activity in duplicating segments of DNA, according to a study to be published in Nature Feb 12, the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birthday. view more (2009-02-12)
DNA of Uncultured Organisms Sequenced Using Novel Single-Cell Approach
Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI) and the Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences have assembled high quality, contamination-free draft genomes of uncultured biodegrading microorganisms using a novel single cell genome sequencing approach. view more (2009-04-22)
Scientists construct a physical map of the Drosophila buzzatii genome
An international team of researchers led by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona Professor Alfredo Ruiz, has launched in this month's issue of the journal Genome Research the first detailed physical map of the Drosophila buzzatii chromosomes. view more (2005-06-30)
Researchers develop new self-training gene prediction program for fungi
Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed a computer program that trains itself to predict genes in the DNA sequences of fungi. view more (2008-09-30)
New genomic model defines microbes by diet -- provides tool for tracking environmental change
In line with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) interest in characterizing the biotic factors involved in global carbon cycling, the DOE Joint Genome Institute (JGI) characterizes a diverse array of plants, microorganisms, and the communities in which they reside to inform options for reducing and stabilizing atmospheric greenhouse gases. view more (2009-09-08)
Comparative genomics reveals molecular evolution of Q fever pathogen
Scientists from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Texas A&M Health Center, and the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute at Virginia Tech have uncovered genetic clues about why some strains of the pathogen Coxiella burnetii are more virulent than others. view more (2009-02-03)
Metagenomics of the deep Mediterranean
Metagenomics is a revolutionary approach to study microbes. Rather than isolating pure cultures, the power of high-throughput sequencing is applied directly to environmental samples to obtain information about the genomes of the prokaryotic cells present in a specific habitat studied. view more (2007-09-19)
Mystery E. coli genes essential for survival of many species
Scientists have shown that E. coli - one of the best known and extensively studied organisms in the world - remains an enigma that may hold the key to human diseases, such as cancer. view more (2009-07-13)
One species, many genomes
Faster growth, darker leaves, a different way of branching - wild varieties of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana are often substantially different from the laboratory strain of this small mustard plant, a favorite of many plant biologists. view more (2007-07-23)
Massive reanalysis of genome data solves case of the lethal genes
It is better to be looked over than overlooked, Mae West supposedly said. These are words of wisdom for genome data-miners of today. view more (2007-10-19)
Genomics reveals mechanism of heat resistance in bacteria
Warm-blooded creatures maintain a relatively stable body temperature that cannot tolerate the stress of intense heat (or cold). view more (2005-08-23)

Genes chips, robots, phone books and ancient plants at the Royal Norfolk Show as John Innes Centre scientists look into the past and the future.
Visitors to the John Innes Centre's (JIC)[1] stand (374) at this year's Royal Norfolk Show[2] will have the opportunity to see the JIC's Gold Medal winning Chelsea Flower Show exhibit 'Meet the Ancestors - of the past and the future'. Visitors will also be able to learn about the work going on in the recently opened JIC Genome Laboratory, through... view more... (2002-06-26)
