Genomics study provides insight into the evolution of unique human traits
Today, researchers from the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, along with colleagues from Stanford University, report the results of a large-scale, genome-wide study to investigate gene copy number differences among ten primate species, including humans. view more (2007-07-31)
Poplar DNA code cracked - a step in combating global warming?
Ghent - Forests cover 30% of the world's land area, house two thirds of life on earth, and are responsible for 90% of the biomass on dry land. So, the impact of trees on our daily life is enormous. Now, an international consortium - which includes researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) at Ghent University -... view more... (2004-09-22)
Dartmouth researchers get personal with genetics
Two recent studies by Dartmouth researchers use individual genetic data to reveal the powers and limits of our current understanding of how the genome influences human health and what genes can reveal about the ancestry of the people of New Hampshire. view more (2009-09-16)
BGSU undergraduates to pilot groundbreaking genome project
Bowling Green State University biology undergraduates will soon be contributing to the body of knowledge in genomics while they learn. The University has been selected as one of 12 institutions nationwide to pilot the new Microbial Genome Annotation research program through the U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI). view more (2007-12-13)
New research on mutation in yeast can enhance understanding of human diseases
Yeast, a model organism heavily relied upon for studying basic biological processes as they relate to human health, mutates in a distinctly different pattern than other model organisms, a finding that brings researchers closer to understanding the role of evolutionary genetics in human diseases and cancer. view more (2008-06-20)
Marsupial genome reveals insights into mammalian evolution
The genetic code of marsupials has now been documented for the first time. An international team led by Kathy Belov from the University of Sydney's Faculty of Veterinary Science published an analysis of the marsupial genome in the open access journal PLoS Biology. view more (2006-01-31)
Research provides first whole genome map of genetic variability in Parkinson's disease
Mayo Clinic researchers in collaboration with scientists at Perlegen Sciences, Inc. and funded by the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research have produced the first large-scale whole genome map of genetic variability associated with Parkinson's disease. view more (2005-09-14)
Mapping the foundation of human development
Embryonic stem cells may one day provide a means to treat disease, but according to two new reports, they are already revealing remarkable insights into the mysteries of human biology. view more (2006-04-21)
Decoded sea urchin genome shows surprising relationship to humans
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 (2006-11-10)
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)
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)
Research team finds important role for junk DNA
Scientists have called it "junk DNA." They have long been perplexed by these extensive strands of genetic material that dominate the genome but seem to lack specific functions. view more (2009-05-21)
Gene regulation, not just genes, is what sets humans apart
The striking differences between humans and chimps aren't so much in the genes we have, which are 99 percent the same, but in the way those genes are used, according to new research from a Duke University team. view more (2007-08-13)
When Good DNA Goes Bad: Backward DNA leads to DNA breaks associated with leukemia, study finds
When otherwise normal DNA adopts an unusual shape called Z-DNA, it can lead to the kind of genetic instability associated with cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. view more (2006-02-13)
UVa-led team uncovers important secret in gene replication
A team of researchers led by University of Virginia Health System geneticists has uncovered a major secret in the mystery of how the DNA helix replicates itself time after time. view more (2007-06-14)
Insight into evolution of adaptive immunity boosted by sea urchin genome sequencing
We're not close kin to the sea urchin, but genetically speaking we may have more in common than we think. view more (2006-11-10)
Genome study of beneficial microbe may help boost plant health
In a study expected to greatly benefit crop plants, scientists have deciphered the genome of a root- and seed-dwelling bacterium that protects plants from diseases. view more (2005-06-27)
Scientists decode genome of deadly parasitic worm
Scientists have sequenced the genome of the parasite that causes intestinal schistosomiasis (also known as bilharzia or snail fever), a devastating tropical disease that afflicts more than 200 million people in the developing world. view more (2009-07-16)
Brown Researchers Create Novel Technique to Sequence Human Genome
Since the human genome was sequenced six years ago, the cost of producing a high-quality genome sequence has dropped precipitously. view more (2009-04-16)
Gene exchange common among sex-manipulating bacteria
Certain bacteria have learned to manipulate the proportion of females and males in insect populations. Now Uppsala University researchers have mapped the entire genome of a bacterium that infects a close relative of the fruit fly. view more (2009-03-26)
