Understanding Extinct Microbes May Influence the State of Modern Human Health
The study of ancient microbes may not seem consequential, but such pioneering research at the University of Oklahoma has implications for the state of modern human health. Cecil Lewis, assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology, says results of this research raise questions about the microbes living on and within people. view more (2009-01-06)
Scientists launch first comprehensive database of human oral microbiome
Scientists know more today than ever before about the microbes that inhabit our mouths. They know so much, in fact, that gathering all of the relevant bits of information into one place when designing experiments can be a job in itself. view more (2008-03-27)
Washington University scientists first to sequence genome of cancer patient
For the first time, scientists have decoded the complete DNA of a cancer patient and traced her disease - acute myelogenous leukemia - to its genetic roots. view more (2008-11-06)
Gene identified for Crohn's disease in children
Pediatrics researchers have identified a gene variant that raises a child's risk of Crohn's disease, a chronic and painful condition attributed to inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. view more (2007-07-19)
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)
Microbiology Today February 2003 issue
DNA50 and microbes This special issue commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of the structure of DNA by Watson and Crick. Microbes have always played an important role in DNA research and this issue, which features topics in modern molecular microbiology and microbial genomics, shows the enormous amount of progress made in the last... view more...

All Eyes and Ears on the Corn Genome
A consortium of researchers led by the Genome Sequencing Center (GSC) at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo., announced today the completion of a draft sequence of the corn genome. view more (2008-03-14)
Neuron Cell Stickiness May Hold Key to Evolution of the Human Brain
The stickiness of human neurons may have been a key factor in why the human brain evolved beyond the brains of our primate relatives. In a study comparing the genomes of humans, chimpanzees, mice and other vertebrates, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Joint Genome Institute... view more...

K-State contributions to red flour beetle genome sequencing featured in March 27 issue of Nature
Most of us hate to find the red flour beetle living happily in the flour sack in our pantries. But for several scientists at Kansas State University, and many others throughout the world, this pest of stored grain and grain products is the best organism for studying genetics. view more (2008-03-24)
Rhythmic genomics -- the yeast metronome and the walk of life
New genome sequence information from the humble baker's yeast has revealed surprising variation in a set of genes that can be thought of as nature's oldest clock. view more (2009-04-08)
Can periodontal disease act as a risk factor for HIV-1?
Today, during the 87th General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, convening at the Miami Beach Convention Center, a group of scientists from Nihon University (Tokyo, Japan) will present findings suggesting that periodontal disease could act as a risk factor for reactivating latent HIV-1 in affected individuals. view more (2009-04-03)
New discovery proves 'selfish gene' exists
A new discovery by a scientist from The University of Western Ontario provides conclusive evidence which supports decades-old evolutionary doctrines long accepted as fact. view more (2008-06-23)
Evolution of genomic imprinting
How we come to express the genes of one parent over the other is now better understood through studying the platypus and marsupial wallaby - and it doesn't seem to have originated in association with sex chromosomes. view more (2007-09-07)
Researchers Shed Light on Evolution of Gene Regulation
Scientists at Penn State have shed light on some of the processes that regulate genes -- such as the processes that ensure that proteins are produced at the correct time, place, and amount in an organism -- and they also have shed light on the evolution of the DNA regions that regulate genes. view more (2008-11-25)
£11.5m for new structural proteomics research programmes
BBSRC has announced two new research programmes that together will receive £11.5m under the Structural Proteomics of Rational Targets Initiative (SPoRT). The Membrane Protein Structure Initiative (MPSI), a consortium of experienced membrane research groups at universities and institutes across the UK and led by the University of Glasgow,... view more...

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)
Decoded sea urchin genome shows surprising relationship to man
The Sea Urchin Genome Sequencing Project (SUGSP) Consortium, led by the Human Genome Sequencing Center at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM-HGSC) in Houston, announced today the decoding and analysis of the genome sequence of the sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus. view more (2006-11-13)
Coding for arthropods-what's so special about insects and spiders?
The central dogma of molecular biology is that DNA makes RNA makes protein. This relies on a specific underlying code which relates given triplets of RNA nucleotides into specific amino acids. view more (2006-04-25)
Defining DNA differences to track and tackle typhoid
For the first time, next-generation DNA sequencing technologies have been turned on typhoid fever - a disease that kills 600,000 people each year. The results will help to improve diagnosis, tracking of disease spread and could help to design new strategies for vaccination. view more (2008-07-28)
