Sequencing method yields fuller picture
University of Southern California biologists have developed a method for sequencing both chromosomes of an organism. view more (2007-07-18)
Human genetic 'deserts' are teeming with significant life
Many of the areas of the human genome previously thought to be deserts are in fact teeming with life, a scientist will tell the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics. view more (2007-06-19)
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)
Giant panda genome to be sequenced
Cardiff University is contributing to the first genome project to assist conservation efforts for an endangered species. view more (2008-04-02)
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)
The chips are down - genotyping on a plate
An exciting and powerful service, using a new tool to investigate the genetics of human diseases, is announced today [1st October]. MRC geneservice, located in Cambridge, UK, is now able to supply researchers with fast and sensitive Affymetrix SNP genotyping in order to identify genome-wide linkage of diseases to particular markers in the human... view more...

Analysis of rhesus monkey genome uncovers genetic differences with humans, chimps
An international consortium of researchers has published the genome sequence of the rhesus macaque monkey and aligned it with the chimpanzee and human genomes. view more (2007-04-13)
Human RecQ helicases, homologous recombination and genomic instability
Two independent papers in the December 1st issue of G&D detail how human RecQ helicases regulate homologous recombination and protect genome stability. view more (2007-11-15)
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)
New technology used to construct the first map of structural variation in the human genome
Beyond the simple stream of one-letter characters in the human genome sequence lies a complex, higher-order code. In order to decipher this level of architecture, scientists have developed powerful new experimental and algorithmic methods to detect copy number variants (CNVs)-defined as large deletions and duplications of DNA segments. view more (2006-11-27)
Whole genome promoter mapping - Human Genome Project v2.0?
nvestigators from the University California, San Diego (UCSD) Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR) and NimbleGen Systems have developed an efficient method to identify thousands of regulatory sequences in the human genome, according to a study published today in Nature. view more (2005-06-30)
UCSD discovery allows scientists for the first time to experimentally annotate genomes
Over the last 20 years, the sequencing of the human genome, along with related organisms, has represented one of the largest scientific endeavors in the history of mankind. view more (2009-11-10)
Catching the common cold virus: BYU researchers coming down with the rhinovirus genome
A new study by Brigham Young University researchers on the virus behind nearly half of all cold infections explains how and where evolution occurs in the rhinovirus genome and what this means for possible vaccines. view more (2009-03-17)
Role of autophagy in tumorigenesis
In the June 1 issue of G&D, Dr. Eileen White and colleagues at Rutgers University/University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey/Cancer Institute of New Jersey, report, for the first time, that the cellular self-digesting process of autophagy can protect genome integrity - lending new insight into the seemingly contradictory roles of... view more...

Researchers assemble second non-human primate genome
A multi-center team has deposited the draft genome sequence of the rhesus macaque monkey into free public databases for use by the worldwide research community, the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). view more (2006-02-10)
Surprising gene discovery
Researchers at the University of Bergen are now able to present new information on the HOX genes - the "software" to design animals. The findings are published in today's issue of Nature. view more (2004-09-10)
New method of selecting DNA for resequencing accelerates discovery of subtle DNA variations
A new technology developed by scientists at Emory University will allow researchers to more easily discover subtle and overlooked genetic variations that may have serious consequences for health and disease. Called Microarray-based Genomic Selection (MGS), the research protocol allows scientists to extract and enrich specific large-sized DNA... view more... (2007-10-15)
Australian first: Kangaroo genome mapped
Australian researchers will today launch the world first detailed map of the kangaroo genome, completing the first phase of the kangaroo genomics project. view more (2008-11-18)
University of Sheffield plays crucial role in sequencing chicken genome
Scientists at the University of Sheffield have played a major role in sequencing the chicken genome, published in Nature and Genome Research on Thursday 9 December. The chicken is the first farm animal to be successfully sequenced, as well as being the first bird. view more (2004-12-07)
Jumping genes discovery 'challenges current assumptions'
Jumping genes do most of their jumping, not during the development of sperm and egg cells, but during the development of the embryo itself. view more (2009-06-12)
