Genome Sequencing Provides Unprecedented Insight Into Causes of Pneumococcal Disease
May 5, 2013 — A new study has, for the first time, used genome sequencing technology to track the changes in a bacterial population following the introduction of a ... > full story -
Genetic Factor Predicts Success of Weight-Loss Surgery
May 2, 2013 — A genome-wide association study reveals that the amount of weight loss after gastric bypass surgery can be predicted in part by a DNA sequence variation found on chromosome 15. The findings explain ... > full storyMore: -
Scientists Revolutionize Creation of Genetically Altered Mice to Model Human Disease
May 2, 2013 — Scientists have efficiently created mouse models with multiple gene mutations in a matter of weeks. Because the method does not require embryonic stem cells, the approach also could allow any animal ... > full story -
3-D Simulation Shows How Form of Complex Organs Evolves by Natural Selection
May 2, 2013 — Researchers have developed the first three-dimensional simulation of the evolution of morphology by integrating the mechanisms of genetic regulation that take place during embryo development. The ... > full story -
Finding Nematostella: Ancient Sea Creature Shines New Light on How Animals Build an Appendage
May 2, 2013 — A study of tentacle formation in a sea anemone shows how epithelial cells form elongated structures and puts the spotlight on a new model ... > full story -
Potential Drug Targets, Markers for Leukemia Risk Identified
May 1, 2013 — Investigators have detailed and broadly classified the genomic alterations that frequently underlie the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a deadly cancer of the blood and bone marrow. ... > full story -
Fossil of Great Ape Sheds Light on Evolution
May 1, 2013 — An integrative anatomy expert says the shape of an 11.8-million-year-old specimen's pelvis indicates that it lived near the beginning of the great ape evolution, after the lesser apes had started to ... > full story -
Amphibians Living Close to Farm Fields Are More Resistant to Common Insecticides
May 1, 2013 — Amphibian populations living close to agricultural fields have become more resistant to a common insecticide and are actually resistant to multiple common insecticides, according to two recent ... > full story -
It Slices, It Dices, It Silences: ADAR1 as Gene-Silencing Modular RNA Multitool
May 1, 2013 — RNA, once considered a bit player in the grand scheme by which genes encode protein, is increasingly seen to have a major role in human genetics. Researchers now report how the RNA-editing protein, ... > full story -
Cheating Favors Extinction, Yeast Study Finds: Feedback Between Population and Evolutionary Dynamics
April 30, 2013 — Cooperative behavior is widely observed in nature, but there remains the possibility that 'cheaters' can exploit the system, with uncertain consequences for the social unit as a whole. A new study ... > full story
