Researchers sequence the basal eukaryote Tetrahymena thermophila
In an effort to improve our understanding of eukaryotic evolution, a team of over 50 researchers led by Jonathan Eisen sequenced the macronuclear genome of the single-celled ciliate Tetrahymena themophila. view more (2006-08-29)
Removing DNA repair gene causes metabolic syndrome
Removing a gene involved in repairing damaged DNA causes mice to develop the metabolic syndrome, researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have discovered. view more (2006-02-09)
Flesh-eating bacteria escape body's safety net
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have discovered that so-called flesh-eating "Strep" bacteria use a specific enzyme to break free of the body's immune system, a finding which could potentially lead to new treatments for serious infections in human patients. view more (2006-02-21)
New sunscreen ingredient to heal sunburn and help prevent skin cancer
People who suffer from sunburn could soon benefit from a new sunscreen ingredient that actively repairs sunburnt skin and helps prevent the onset of skin cancer. view more (2006-09-08)
When Good DNA Goes Bad: Backward DNA leads to DNA breaks associated with leukemia, study finds
When otherwise normal DNA adopts an unusual shape called Z-DNA, it can lead to the kind of genetic instability associated with cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. view more (2006-02-13)
One hit of crystal meth causes birth defects: U of T study
A single prenatal dose of methamphetamine - commonly known as speed - may be enough to cause long-term neurodevelopmental problems in babies, say University of Toronto researchers. view more (2005-07-27)
Sunscreens can damage skin, researchers find
Are sunscreens always beneficial, or can they be detrimental to users? A research team led by UC Riverside chemists reports that unless people out in the sun apply sunscreen often, the sunscreen itself can become harmful to the skin. view more (2006-08-29)
Ancient DNA traces the woolly mammoth's disappearance
Some ancient-DNA evidence has offered new clues to a very cold case: the disappearance of the last woolly mammoths, one of the most iconic of all Ice Age giants, according to a June 7th report published online in Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press. view more (2007-06-08)
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)
Ships bring alien jellyfish invaders to our shores
Marine environments around the world are being threatened by exotic species of the moon jellyfish being dispersed by international shipping, according to new research. view more (2005-08-16)
Novel mechanism for DNA replication discovered
Since the discovery of the structure of DNA by James Watson and Francis Crick in 1953, the paradigm for DNA replication has stated that the DNA itself codes for the appropriate pairings for replication. view more (2005-09-30)
Tattooing improves response to DNA vaccine
A tattoo can be more than just a fashion statement - it has potential medical value, according to an article published in the online open access journal, Genetic Vaccines and Therapy. view more (2008-02-07)

Six million years ago, chimpanzees and humans diverged from a common ancestor and evolved into unique species. view more (2006-11-14)
SLU Researchers Uncover Direct Evidence on How HIV Invades Healthy Cells
Using sophisticated detection methods, researchers at the Saint Louis University Institute for Molecular Virology (IMV) have demonstrated the molecular mechanism by which the HIV virus infects, or integrates, healthy cells. The discovery could lead to new drug treatments for HIV. view more (2005-12-22)
DNA: Bacteria's survival ration
The ubiquitous bacteria E. coli rank among nature's most successful species for lots of reasons, to which biologists at the University of Southern California have added another: in a pinch, E. coli can feast on the DNA of their dead competitors. view more (2006-05-30)
DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes serve as sensors in living cells
Single-walled carbon nanotubes wrapped with DNA can be placed inside living cells and detect trace amounts of harmful contaminants using near infrared light. view more (2006-01-27)
Damage to sperm DNA affects older men's chances of fathering children
Damage to DNA in sperm is significantly higher in older men than in those who are younger, according to research presented today (Tuesday 21 June 2005) at the 21st annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. view more (2005-06-21)
