Better Wheat Varieties in the Future? Wheat Genome Shows Resistance Genes Easy to Access
April 29, 2013 Scientists have developed a physical map of wheat's wild ancestor, Aegilops tauschii, commonly called goatgrass. It's the first huge step toward sequencing the wheat genome -- a complete look at ... > full story -
Comparing Proteins at a Glance: Technique for Easy Comparisons of Proteins in Solution
April 29, 2013 A revolutionary X-ray analytical technique enables researchers at a glance to identify structural similarities and differences between multiple proteins under a variety of conditions and has already ... > full story -
Molecular Role of Gene Linked to Blood Vessel Formation Uncovered
April 29, 2013 Researchers have discovered that disrupting a gene that acts as a regulatory switch to turn on other genes can keep blood vessels from forming and developing ... > full story -
Turtle Genome Analysis Sheds Light on Turtle Ancestry and Shell Evolution
April 28, 2013 From which ancestors have turtles evolved? How did they get their shell? New data provides evidence that turtles are not primitive reptiles but belong to a sister group of birds and crocodiles. The ... > full story -
Protein Shaped Like a Spider: Immune Protein C4BP Is Potentially Suitable as a Transporter for Drugs
April 26, 2013 The protein C4BP is similar to a spider in its spatial form with eight "arms." This leads the scientists to unconventional ideas -- the protein is possibly suitable as a scaffold for the transport of ... > full story -
Boosting the Powers of Genomic Science
April 25, 2013 Scientists describe novel statistical models that more broadly and deeply identify associations between bits of sequenced DNA called single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs and say lead to a more ... > full story -
New Study Confirms Link Between Weight Loss and Blood Pressure for Individuals With Specific Genetic Polymorphisms
April 25, 2013 Your genetic makeup can help determine how well your body will respond to weight loss efforts aimed at controlling high blood pressure, a new study ... > full story -
Novel Approach to Find RNAs Involved in Long-Term Memory Storage
April 25, 2013 Scientists have developed a novel strategy for isolating and characterizing a substantial number of RNAs transported from the cell-body of neuron (nerve cell) to the synapse, the small gap separating ... > full story -
Potential New Way to Detect Colorectal and Other Cancers
April 25, 2013 A unique new study reveals a novel mechanism explaining the previously unknown root cause of some forms of colorectal ... > full story -
Missing Link in Parkinson's Disease Found: Discovery Also Has Implications for Heart Failure
April 25, 2013 Researchers have described a missing link in understanding how damage to the body's cellular power plants leads to Parkinson's disease and, perhaps surprisingly, to some forms of heart ... > full story
