An international research consortium investigating the genetic causes of intestinal inflammatory conditions has identified a new genetic risk factor for coeliac disease. view more (2007-06-11)
How body size is regulated: International study discovers ten new genes related to human growth
Scientists are beginning to unravel the question why people distinctly vary in size. view more (2008-05-12)
DNA chunks, chimps and humans
Researchers have carried out the largest study of differences between human and chimpanzee genomes, identifying regions that have been duplicated or lost during evolution of the two lineages. view more (2008-11-06)
Blood counts are clues to human disease
A new genome-wide association study published today in Nature Genetics begins to uncover the basis of genetic variations in eight blood measurements and the impact those variants can have on common human diseases. view more (2009-10-12)
Genome of saltwater creature could aid understanding of gene grouping
The genetic code of a simple saltwater creature could help researchers learn more about how groups of genes function in humans and other species. view more (2008-08-21)
NYU biologists map out early stages of embryo formation
A team of genomic researchers headed by biologists at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics, in collaboration with researchers at Harvard University, the Max Planck Institute, and Cenix Biosciences, has mapped out a preliminary molecular diagram of the early stages of embryo formation, offering for the first time a... view more...

Jumping genes, gene loss and genome dark matter
In research published today by Nature, an international team describes the finest map of changes to the structure of human genomes and a resource they have developed for researchers worldwide to look at the role of these changes in human disease. view more (2009-10-08)
Duckweed genome sequencing has global implications
Three plant biologists at Rutgers' Waksman Institute of Microbiology are obsessed with duckweed, a tiny aquatic plant with an unassuming name. Now they have convinced the federal government to focus its attention on duckweed's tremendous potential for cleaning up pollution, combating global warming and feeding the world. view more (2008-07-09)
Deep sequencing study reveals new insights into human transcriptome
In a collaborative project scientists from the Max-Planck-Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin (MPI MolGen), Germany and Genomatix with a business in Munich, Germany and Ann Arbor, MI, USA, applied next generation sequencing and analysis methods to generate an unprecedented view at the human transcriptome. view more (2008-07-09)
There Is So Much The Human Genome Project Can Bring Us, Say Brain Researchers
Brain researchers from around the world, currently in Brighton for the Forum of Neuroscience Societies, FENS 2000, welcomed the news of the completion of the Human Genome Project today. An estimated 40,000 - 50,000 genes are involved in the structure and function of the brain. The complex interaction of the cascades of genes will be fascinating... view more... (2000-06-26)
A Genome May Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
With the costs of genome sequencing rapidly decreasing, and with the infrastructure now developed for almost anyone with access to a computer to cheaply store, access, and analyze sequence information, emphasis is increasingly being placed on ways to apply genome data to real world problems, including reducing dependency on fossil fuel. view more (2009-05-13)
New tool probes function of rice genes
A new tool for investigating the rice genome has been developed by researchers at UC Davis led by Pamela Ronald, professor of plant pathology. view more (2008-10-09)
Bovine genome provides clues to possible new developments
Scientists from Texas AgriLife Research and the Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM) are part of a consortium of researchers who have developed an annotated sequence of the cattle genome which could lead to better disease resistance and higher quality meat for consumers, the researchers say. view more (2009-04-24)
Technique finds gene regulatory sites without knowledge of regulators
A new statistical technique developed by researchers at the University of Illinois allows scientists to scan a genome for specific gene-regulatory regions without requiring prior knowledge of the relevant transcription factors. view more (2009-11-20)
Research Upsetting Some Notions about Honey Bees
Genetic research, based on information from the recently released honey bee genome, has toppled some long-held beliefs about the honey bee that colonized Europe and the U.S. view more (2006-12-12)
Copy number variation may stem from replication misstep
Genome rearrangements, resulting in variations in the numbers of copies of genes, occur when the cellular process that copies DNA during cell division stalls and then switches to a different genetic "template," said researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in a report that appears today in the journal Cell. view more (2007-12-28)
NIH unprecedented genetic study may help identify people most at risk for alcoholism
Researchers at the Molecular Neurobiology Branch of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), National Institutes of Health, have completed the most comprehensive scan of the human genome to date linked to the ongoing efforts to identify people most at risk for developing alcoholism. view more (2006-08-28)
Ambion and Cenix BioScience announce availability of pre-designed siRNAS covering the human, mouse and rat genomes
Ambion, Inc. and Cenix BioScience GmbH, both leaders in the RNAi market, announced today that siRNA designs are now complete for more than 98% of all human, mouse, and rat genes listed in the public RefSeq database. These siRNAs promise to be the best new tool for fulfilling the promise of the Human Genome Project by enabling the efficient... view more... (2003-08-26)
Scientists complete genome sequence of fungus responsible for dandruff, skin disorders
Scientists from P&G Beauty announced that they successfully sequenced the complete genome for Malassezia globosa (M. globosa), a naturally occurring fungus responsible for the onset of dandruff and other skin conditions in humans. view more (2007-11-07)
Bar flies: fruit flies help unravel the genetics of alcohol sensitivity
Research published in the online open access journal Genome Biology this week has identified a number of genes that are associated with sensitivity to alcohol in fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster). view more (2007-10-31)
