Researchers based in Gabon and France report the discovery of a new malaria agent infecting chimpanzees in Central Africa. view more (2009-05-29)
Living fossil roams the seas
Fossil' fish coelacanth, first dragged up along the coast of South Africa in 1938, having been considered extinct for 65 million years. Because of its close resemblance to land animals, it has attracted attention to the subject of a 'missing link' between tetrapods and humans. view more (2005-07-13)
Nutritional genomics identifies a potential weight-loss resistance gene
Two obese people follow the same low-calorie diet and do not exercise, but one loses much more weight than the other. Genetic factors may explain this phenomenon. view more (2005-12-08)
The future of nutritional genomics is collaboration
Nutrigenomics experts worldwide have aligned, and they are calling for teamwork. José Ordovas, PhD, director of the Nutrition and Genomics Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University joined more than eighty other leading researchers in the fields of nutrition and genetics to co-author... view more...

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)
DOE publishes research roadmap for developing cleaner fuels
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today released an ambitious new research agenda for the development of cellulosic ethanol as an alternative to gasoline. view more (2006-07-07)
Bug surprise for drug traffickers - Microbiology Today: May 2004 issue
Bacteria could be the new weapon in the fight against drug trafficking, according to an article published in the May 2004 issue of Microbiology Today, the quarterly magazine for the Society for General Microbiology. Researchers at CNAP, University of York, have found bacteria that grow on heroin and morphine and believe that two special proteins... view more... (2004-05-17)
NYU biologists map out early stages of embryo formation
A team of genomic researchers headed by biologists at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics, in collaboration with researchers at Harvard University, the Max Planck Institute, and Cenix Biosciences, has mapped out a preliminary molecular diagram of the early stages of embryo formation, offering for the first time a... view more...

Ever since the genomics revolution took off, scientists have been busily deciphering vast numbers of genomes. Cataloging. Analyzing. Comparing. Public databases hold 239 complete bacterial genomes alone. view more (2005-09-23)
Biologists develop genome-wide map of miRNA-mRNA interactions
Researchers at New York University's Center for Comparative Functional Genomics and the University of California, Berkeley have used computational analyses to predict a genome-wide map of microRNA (miRNA) targets in the animal model organism, Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). view more (2006-03-09)
E. coli waves the Blue Flag for our beaches - Microbiology Today August 2004 issue
E. coli, the bug made famous by food poisoning outbreaks, can be used to point the finger of blame at the right culprit when our waterways become polluted. E. coli live in the guts of animals and are already used to indicate whether food and water are contaminated with faecal material. However, according to a recent article in the August 2004... view more... (2004-07-27)
Scientists discover two genes linked to early heart attack risk
One of the genes, known as VAMP8, normally expresses a protein essential for early stages of clotting. When clotting occurs in a coronary blood vessel, it can lead to heart attack. view more (2006-05-12)
First big influenza genome study reveals flu evolution
On the eve of the 2005-06 flu season, scientists at The Institute for Genomic Research (TIGR) have captured influenza evolution in action. view more (2005-10-06)
Media Invitation to Human Genome Meeting
As we enter what has been dubbed the "post-genomic" era, HGM2004, the annual meeting of the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO), will focus on the future of genome research. The 2004 meeting will look at what will come next in our understanding of human genetics, considering the hopes for new approaches to medicine and the implications of... view more... (2004-02-06)
