Researchers have identified three new species of lemurs, the small, big-eyed primates native to the island of Madagascar. view more (2006-02-23)
Indiana U researchers closer to finding a genetic cause of hearing loss in aging
Researchers at Indiana University School of Medicine have taken a step toward understanding the genetics that make people more susceptible to the loss of hearing as they age. view more (2006-05-17)
Rodent's bizarre traits deepen mystery of genetics, evolution
A shadowy rodent has potential to shed light on human genetics and the mysteries of evolution. view more (2006-09-18)
Gene's discovery could help prevent a leading cause of blindness in the elderly
University of Pittsburgh researchers have discovered a gene linked to age-related maculopathy (ARM), the leading cause of untreatable blindness in the elderly. view more (2005-08-17)
Mutation rate in a gene on the X chromosome holds promise for testing cancer risk
A new study to detect an elevated rate of mutations in a gene on the X chromosome holds promise for developing a test that could identify individuals at risk for developing cancer. view more (2005-09-16)
Mouse to man: The story of chromosomes
The complete sequencing of human chromosome 17 and mouse chromosome 11 offers unique insights into the evolution of the genome of higher mammals. view more (2006-04-20)
Making mice with enhanced color vision
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and their colleagues have found that mice simply expressing a human light receptor in addition to their own can acquire new color vision, a sign that the brain can adapt far more rapidly to new sensory information than anticipated. view more (2007-03-23)
Region of DNA strongly associated with Alzheimer's disease
An international team of researchers, led by investigators at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, are zeroing in on a gene that increases risk for Alzheimer's disease. view more (2006-01-11)
Human and chimp genomes reveal new twist on origin of species
The evolutionary split between human and chimpanzee is much more recent - and more complicated - than previously thought. view more (2006-05-18)
Bread mold may hold secret to eliminating disease-causing genes
When most people discover mold on their bread, they immediately throw it out. Others see a world of possibilities in the tiny fungus. A University of Missouri scientist, along with a collaborative research team, has examined a new mechanism in the reproductive cycle of a certain species of mold. view more (2008-05-09)
Building disease-beating wheat
Disease resistance genes from three different grass species have been combined in the world's first 'trigenomic' chromosome, which can now be used to breed disease resistant wheat varieties. view more (2007-12-13)
A balancing act between the sexes
Recent research at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) reveals new insights into how cells achieve equality between the sexes. view more (2006-03-17)
Molecule links Down syndrome to Alzheimer's
Researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London have identified a molecule that could be targeted to treat the cognitive impairment in people with Down syndrome. view more (2005-12-06)
Columbia University Medical Center researchers discover potential mechanism for tumor growth
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center have identified an inherent feature of stem and progenitor cells that may promote initiation and progression of cancerous tumors. view more (2005-12-16)
Scientists discover a genetic code for organizing DNA within the nucleus
DNA - the long, thin molecule that carries our hereditary material - is compressed around protein scaffolding in the cell nucleus into tiny spheres called nucleosomes. view more (2006-07-20)
Researchers identify gene associated with severe kidney failure in diabetes
A research team at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and the University of Heidelberg has proven that a gene protects some people with diabetes from developing severe kidney failure or "end-stage renal disease." view more (2007-01-10)
Cell survival depends on chromosome integrity
As part of a large National Institutes of Health-funded Technology Centers for Networks and Pathways project, Johns Hopkins researchers have discovered protein machinery important for cells to keep chromosomes intact. view more (2006-07-10)
New clues for treatment of liver cancer
By generating tumors in laboratory mice that mimic human liver cancer and by comparing the DNA of mouse and human tumors, researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have identified two genes that are likely to play a role in the third leading cause of human cancer deaths. view more (2006-06-29)
Modified mushrooms may yield human drugs
Mushrooms might serve as biofactories for the production of various beneficial human drugs, according to plant pathologists who have inserted new genes into mushrooms. view more (2007-06-25)
Chromosomal abnormalities in sperm higher after vasectomy reversal
Men who have had a vasectomy reversed have a very much greater rate of chromosomal abnormalities in their sperm than do normal fertile men. view more (2006-06-21)
