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)
Genetic map offers new tool for malaria research
An international research team announced today the completion of a genome-wide map that charts the genetic variability of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. view more (2006-12-11)
Scientists decode genome of parasite that causes relapsing malaria
Scientists have deciphered the complete genetic sequence of the parasite Plasmodium vivax, the leading cause of relapsing malaria, and compared it with the genomes of other species of malaria parasites. view more (2008-10-09)
New malaria agent found in chimpanzees close to that commonly observed in humans
Researchers based in Gabon and France report the discovery of a new malaria agent infecting chimpanzees in Central Africa. view more (2009-05-29)
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)
Genes involved in cell growth and cell division identified
A recent study shows that hundreds of genes contribute to cell growth and cell division. For the first time these genes, many of which are potential contributors to cancer, have been mapped in a single systematic study. view more (2006-02-23)
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)
Microbe has huge role in ocean life, carbon cycle
Researchers at Oregon State University and Diversa Corporation have discovered that the smallest free-living cell known also has the smallest genome, or genetic structure, of any independent cell-and yet it dominates life in the oceans, thrives where most other cells would die, and plays a huge role in the cycling of carbon on Earth. view more (2005-08-19)
Flipped genetic sequences illuminate human evolution and disease
By comparing the human genome with that of the chimpanzee, man's closest living relative, researchers have discovered that chunks of similar DNA that have been flipped in orientation and reinserted into chromosomes are hundreds of times more common in primates than previously thought. view more (2005-10-26)
New technique adds precision and permanence to gene therapy
Mount Sinai School of Medicine researchers cured PKU in mice with new gene therapy technique. view more (2005-10-11)
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)
Cracking the genetic code for control of gene expression
Molecular biologists, developmental biologists and computer scientists at the Universtity of Helsinki, Finland, came together to advance towards cracking the code for how gene expression is controlled. view more (2006-01-13)
Ticks, flukes, and genomics: Emerging pathogens revealed
Ehrlichiosis is no star of science. This emerging disease has an awkward name, vague flu-like symptoms, and a nasty habit of being caused by bacteria that live inside ticks and flatworms. view more (2006-02-17)
Comparing chimp and human DNA
Scientists look to the chimpanzee genome to better understand what is uniquely human about our own. One goal is to find DNA elements that show evidence of rapid evolution in the human lineage. view more (2006-10-13)
Why some people are more attractive than others
Researchers believe they have solved a mystery that has puzzled evolutionary scientists for years ... if 'good' genes spread through the population, why are individuals so different? view more (2007-03-28)
Genome circularization and RNA virus replication
As featured on the cover of the August 15th issue of G&D, an Argentinian research team, led by Dr. Andrea Gamarnik, report on their recent discovery of a novel mechanism of dengue virus replication. view more (2006-08-01)
LSU scientists develop new theory about human genome evolution
A group of LSU researchers, led by biological sciences Professor Mark Batzer, have unraveled the details of a 25-million-year-old evolutionary process in the human genome. Their study focused on the origin and spread of transposable elements in the genome, many of which are known to be related to certain genetic disorders, such as hemophilia. view more (2005-07-01)
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)
Dengue Virus Reveals Its Circular Secret
The first step in the transmission of mosquito-borne viruses is no mystery: it's the pesky insect's bite that allows the virus to enter its victim's bloodstream. But for some of the most dangerous insect-borne viruses, details of what happens next have been unclear. view more (2006-08-02)
Marsupial genome reveals insights into mammalian evolution
The genetic code of marsupials has now been documented for the first time. An international team led by Kathy Belov from the University of Sydney's Faculty of Veterinary Science published an analysis of the marsupial genome in the open access journal PLoS Biology. view more (2006-01-31)
