Scientists Produce Mouse Eggs From Embryonic Stem Cells, Demonstrating Totipotency Even In Vitro
May 2, 2003 Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have created the first mammalian gametes grown in vitro directly from embryonic stem cells. The work, in which mouse stem cells placed in Petri dishes -- ... > full story -
Researchers In Japan And UCSD Discover Novel Role For Pseudogenes
May 1, 2003 The mantra of molecular biology – DNA makes RNA, which makes protein – has pretty much ignored pseudogenes. Considered defective copies of DNA segments, the 20,000 pseudogenes in the ... > full story -
Gene Variation Raises Risk Of Bipolar Disorder And Schizophrenia
April 25, 2003 A research team based at the University of Chicago has traced increased susceptibility to bipolar disorder to two overlapping genes found on the long arm of chromosome 13. The study, published in the ... > full story -
Cloned Pigs Differ From Originals In Looks And Behavior
April 16, 2003 New research at North Carolina State University's College of Veterinary Medicine indicates that cloned pigs can have the same degree of variability in physical appearance and behavior as normally ... > full story -
Cloned Gene May Help Crops And Livestock Meet Future Needs
April 14, 2003 Improved digestibility of livestock feed, hardier crops and higher yield of biofuels may result from information that Purdue University researchers are learning about the sorghum gene that controls ... > full story -
Failures In Primate Cloning May Signal Impossibility Of Human Reproductive Cloning
April 11, 2003 Fundamental flaws in embryonic development may make therapeutic cloning of nonhuman primates difficult, and reproductive cloning of primates – nonhuman and human alike – impossible, a ... > full story -
Scientists Discover Critical Cold-Tolerance Gene In Arabidopsis
April 11, 2003 Scientists at the University of Arizona have discovered a critical cold-tolerance gene in Arabidopsis. As published in the April 15th issue of Genes & Development, the identification of ICE1 by ... > full story -
Inactive Genes May Contribute To Failure Of Animals Cloned From Adult Cells, Study Finds
March 20, 2003 Only 1 percent to 3 percent of animals cloned from adult cells survive to birth; many die mysteriously very early in development, around the time of implantation. A new study suggests that a set of ... > full story -
Scientists' Transgenic Chicken Aids Embryo Research
March 11, 2003 North Carolina State University poultry scientists have developed a powerful new tool to aid the understanding of how chicken embryos develop. The research of Dr. Paul Mozdziak, assistant professor ... > full story -
Minnesota Researchers Identify Protein That Causes Cell Nucleoli To Disassemble
February 19, 2003 Researchers at the University of Minnesota have identified the protein responsible for disassembly of donor nucleoli in the context of nuclear cloning. Although it was already known that nucleoli, ... > full story
