Shilatifard and colleagues clarify the enzymatic activity of factors involved in childhood leukemia
The Stowers Institute's Shilatifard Lab and colleagues have provided new insight into the molecular basis for H3K4 methylation, an activity associated with the MLL protein found in chromosomal translocation-based aggressive infant acute leukemias. view more (2009-05-05)
Human brains pay a price for being big
Metabolic changes responsible for the evolution of our unique cognitive abilities indicate that the brain may have been pushed to the limit of its capabilities. Research published today in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology adds weight to the theory that schizophrenia is a costly by-product of human brain evolution. view more (2008-08-05)

Physics and biology team up to tackle protein folding debate
A team of researchers from EPFL, (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne), the University of Lausanne, Northwestern University and Tel Aviv University bring biology and statistical physics together to answer the question of how molecular chaperones fold, unfold and pull proteins around in the cell. view more (2006-04-04)
Scientists call for global push to advance research in synthetic biology
With research backgrounds ranging from materials engineering to molecular biophysics, seventeen leading scientists issued a statement today announcing that, much as the discovery of DNA and creation of the transistor revolutionized science, there is a new scientific field on the brink of revolutionizing our approach to problems ranging from... view more...

Analysis finds strong match between molecular, fossil data in evolutionary studies
During a seminar at another institution several years ago, University of Chicago paleontologist David Jablonski fielded a hostile question: Why bother classifying organisms according to their physical appearance, let alone analyze their evolutionary dynamics, when molecular techniques had already invalidated that approach? view more (2009-04-29)
Celebrating 40 Years Of Scientific Excellence
The European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO) this weekend celebrated its 40th anniversary. Leading scientists from all over Europe - amongst them 5 Nobel Laureates and Senior Vice President of Discovery Research at GlaxoSmithKline - flew in to take part in the celebrations; all of them honoured EMBO members. Many more sent messages of... view more... (2004-06-25)
18th Century Reverend Enlightens Evolutionary Biologists
Evolutionary biologists are often interested in reconstructing how different genes evolved from each other. Large numbers of genes can now be sequenced quickly but the development of statistical methods has lagged behind. To analyse even moderately large data sets under realistic evolutionary models, researchers have been forced to use... view more... (2001-12-20)
"Fleming's Unfinished" is finished at last
A scientist at the University of Sheffield has applied the principles of musicology to science and has finished the paper that Alexander Fleming, the man who discovered the first antibiotic, should have written. The practice is common in classical music, with experts finishing the symphonies of great classical composers, but has probably never... view more... (2002-10-24)
A new focus for the mechanism of nerve growth
Researchers at Yale shed new light on the mechanism of nerve cell growth by identifying novel functions for a molecular "motor" protein, myosin-II, according to an article in the March issue of Nature Cell Biology. view more (2006-03-20)
