Scientists shed light on inner workings of human embryonic stem cells
Scientists at UC Santa Barbara have made a significant discovery in understanding the way human embryonic stem cells function. view more (2009-05-01)
Study identifies genes that protect against aging
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have developed a new method to help researchers identify genes that can help protect the body during the ageing process. view more (2009-04-21)
UCL to stage international conference on genes in sport: press invitation
LONDON 13 NOV. 2001 - Scientists will look into the present and future role that genetics may play in sport at a press briefing in advance of a one day international conference on Genes and Sport at University College London. The conference, organised jointly by the UK Institute of Sports Medicine and the School of Human Health Performance at... view more... (2001-11-13)
Research gaining momentum by silencing genes
Along with five European academic laboratories, researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) connected to Ghent University are accelerating the study of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Taking advantage of the new RNAi technology, they are able to study the function of genes with the aid of specially... view more... (2004-10-14)
The key to the lock that controls nitrogen fixation
"Bacteria that fix nitrogen only do so when they sense that there is very little nitrogen available in their environment," says Professor Ray Dixon (Project Leader at the JIC. "Normally the genes for nitrogen fixation are locked off and only unlocked and used when nitrogen levels in the environment fall. We have discovered a key... view more... (2004-11-04)
Genetic engineering of plants: nature was first
Queen Mary and Westfield College scientists studying resistance to infection in plants have discovered by chance that a natural form of genetic engineering has already brought foreign genes into their genetic make-up. view more (1998-09-01)
Gluten Intolerance
Nearly 1% of the population is celiac, i.e. they suffer from intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and oats. The problem obliges sufferers to follow a diet based on natural foodstuffs such as legumes, meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruit and rice. Gluten, in sufferers, produces atrophy of the villi of the intestinal lining,... view more... (2004-08-05)
Researchers Look to Imprinted Genes for Clues to Fetal Growth Restriction in Cloned Swine
Researchers at North Carolina State University have found that intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), which results in low birth weight and long-term deleterious health effects in cloned swine, is linked to a type of gene - known as an imprinted gene - found only in placental mammals. view more (2009-07-21)
Researchers report the cloning of a key group of human genes, the protein kinases
Although the human genome has been sequenced, research into mechanism of action of genes has been hampered by the fact that most human genes have not been isolated. This is true for even the most common class of cancer-associated genes, the protein kinases, which mediate the majority of signaling events in cells by phosphorylating and modulating... view more...

Fly with brain tumor may shed light on cancer causing genes
A study showing how the expression of genes changes when the brain tissue of fruit flies becomes cancerous is published this week in BMC Genomics. As the function of many of these genes is conserved across evolution, the researchers expect their results will help us to understand why human brain tumors develop. The causes of brain tumor... view more... (2004-04-14)
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)
Parents' genes, not parents' arguing, may cause children's conduct problems
Children's conduct problems—skipping school, sneaking out of the house, lying to parents, shoplifting, or bullying other children—are a major source of concern for parents and teachers. view more (2007-02-07)
Masterminding muscle development
Dr. Lizi Wu (Dana Farber Cancer Institute) and colleagues report on a critical role for one of the three mammalian mastermind genes (Maml1) in myogenesis - assigning that first biological function to the mammalian MAML Notch co-activators. view more (2006-02-28)
Genes Against By-Product-Coking Industry
How can workers be protected from detrimental production factors? Russian researchers have come to the conclusion that this can be done by a large number of actively working ribosomal genes. view more (2005-02-22)
UCSF team closer to creating safe embryonic-like stem cells
A team of UCSF researchers has for the first time used tiny molecules called microRNAs to help turn adult mouse cells back to their embryonic state. view more (2009-04-13)
Research finds way to double rice crops in drought-stricken areas
University of Alberta research has yielded a way to double the output of rice crops in some of the world's poorest, most distressed areas. view more (2008-11-21)
Van Andel Institute Study Rules Out Transcriptional Coactivators as Useful Herpes Antiviral Drug Targets
Researchers at Van Andel Research Institute (VARI) have determined that the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) does not require transcriptional coactivators for viral gene expression early in the infection process. The finding is significant in determining that, in contradiction to earlier models, chemical inhibitors of these cellular proteins... view more... (2009-03-26)
Comparing Chimp, Human DNA
Most of the big differences between human and chimpanzee DNA lie in regions that do not code for genes, according to a new study. view more (2006-10-16)
Genetic 'Conflict' May Affect Obesity
Scientists at the Babraham Institute have discovered that conflict between genes inherited from our parents may affect our ability to adapt to life after birth, and have lasting effects on our weight. We inherit similar sets of genes from both our parents, but of a small number of genes only one of the copies is active, the copy from the other... view more... (2004-08-17)
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)
