Hairpin Turn: Micro-RNA Plays Role in Wood Formation
Scientists have found the
first example of how
micro-RNA regulates wood
formation inside plant cells
and mapped out key
relationships that control

Self-Fertilizing Plants Contribute to Their Own Demise
Many plants are
self-fertilizing, meaning
they act as both mother and
father to their own seeds.
This strategy -- known as
selfing -- guarantees

Evolutionary History of a Cancer-Related Gene
Scientists have described
how a genetic duplication
that took place in the
vertebrate ancestor some 500
million years ago encouraged
the evolution of the ASF1b

Using Math to Kill Cancer Cells
June 14, 2013 — Scientists have outlined how advanced mathematical modelling can be used in the fight against cancer. The technique predicts how different treatments and genetic modifications might allow ... > full story -
Gene Variants May Predict Who Will Benefit from Breast Cancer Prevention Drugs
June 13, 2013 — In women at high risk for breast cancer, a long-term drug treatment can cut the risk of developing the disease in half. Researchers have identified two gene variants that may predict which women are ... > full story -
Common Genetic Disease Linked to Father's Age
June 7, 2013 — Scientists have unlocked the mystery of why new cases of the genetic disease Noonan syndrome are so common; a mutation that causes the disease disproportionately increases a normal father's ... > full story -
Math Technique De-Clutters Cancer-Cell Data, Revealing Tumor Evolution, Treatment Leads
June 6, 2013 — Scientists have developed a mathematical method of simplifying and interpreting genome data bearing evidence of mutations, such as those that characterize specific ... > full story -
Metabolic Model of E. Coli Reveals How Bacterial Growth Responds to Temperature Change
June 6, 2013 — Bioengineers have developed a computational model of 1,366 genes in E. coli that includes 3D protein structures and has enabled them to compute the temperature sensitivity of the bacterium's ... > full story -
First Evidence That the Genome Can Adapt to Temperature Changes
June 5, 2013 — Researchers have been tracking the evolution of Drosophila subobscura, a small fly that is very common all over Europe, since 1976. They are focusing on a specific type of genomic variability known ... > full story -
Genomic Analysis Lends Insight to Prostate Cancer
May 23, 2013 — Researchers have used next generation genomic analysis to determine that some of the more aggressive prostate cancer tumors have similar genetic origins, which may help in predicting cancer ... > full story -
Biochemistry: Unspooling DNA from Nucleosomal Disks
May 23, 2013 — The tight wrapping of genomic DNA around nucleosomes in the cell nucleus makes it unavailable for gene expression. This study describes a mechanism that allows chromosomal DNA to be locally displaced ... > full story -
Minus Environment, Patterns Still Emerge: Computational Study Tracks E. Coli Cells' Regulatory Mechanisms
