Multiple Faces of Deadly Breast Cancer
April 4, 2012 Scientists have made a discovery that will change the way the most deadly form of breast cancer is treated. The study is the largest genetic analysis of what were thought to be triple negative breast ... > full storyMore: -
Algae Biofuels: The Wave of the Future
April 3, 2012 Researchers have assembled the draft genome of a marine algae sequence to aid scientists across the US in a project that aims to discover the best algae species for producing biodiesel ... > full story -
Darwin in the Genome: Research on Stickleback Fish Shows How Adaptation to New Environments Involves Many Genes
April 3, 2012 A current controversy raging in evolutionary biology is whether adaptation to new environments is the result of many genes, each of relatively small effect, or just a few genes of large effect. A new ... > full story -
Whole Genome Sequencing Not Informative for All, Experts Say
April 2, 2012 With sharp declines in the cost of whole genome sequencing, the day of accurately deciphering disease risk based on an individual’s genome may seem at hand. But a study involving data of ... > full story -

Forces Among Molecules: Tiny but Important
March 23, 2012 Forces are not only associated with machines or muscles. You can also find them elsewhere, for instance between molecules. Theoretical chemists are familiar with that. However, they -- or rather ... > full story -
How Bacteria Resist a 'Trojan Horse' Antibiotic
March 19, 2012 A new study describes how bacteria use a previously unknown means to defeat an antibiotic. The researchers found that the bacteria have modified a common "housekeeping" enzyme in a way that enables ... > full story -
Cancer Epigenetics: Breakthrough in Identifying Target Genes
March 13, 2012 Cancer is usually attributed to faulty genes, but growing evidence from the field of cancer epigenetics indicates a key role for the gene "silencing" proteins that stably turn genes off inside the ... > full story -
Promising New Drug Target for Kidney Disease
March 12, 2012 Researchers have identified a regulator protein that plays a crucial role in kidney fibrosis, a condition that leads to kidney failure. Finding this regulator provides a new therapeutic target for ... > full story
