| Posted: 10 Nov 2013 03:43 PM PST A new study shines new light on molecular tools our cells use to govern regulated gene expression. |
| Posted: 09 Nov 2013 12:39 PM PST Researchers have discovered details on a speedy microorganism that needs hydrogen to produce methane. |
| Cost-effective method accurately orders DNA sequencing along entire chromosomes Posted: 07 Nov 2013 12:48 PM PST A new computational method has been shown to quickly assign, order and orient DNA sequencing information along entire chromosomes. The method may help overcome a major obstacle that has delayed progress in designing rapid, low-cost -- but still accurate -- ways to assemble genomes from scratch. Data gleaned through this new method can also validate certain types of chromosomal abnormalities in cancer. |
| HPV can damage genes, chromosomes directly by inserting own DNA into human DNA Posted: 07 Nov 2013 10:28 AM PST A study has identified a new mechanism by which the human papillomavirus (HPV) may contribute to cancer development. Using whole-genome sequencing, researchers show that strains of HPV that cause cervical, head and neck and other cancers can directly damage genes and chromosomes where they insert their DNA into human DNA. |
| Red panda cubs born Prospect Park, Bronx Zoo Posted: 07 Nov 2013 09:28 AM PST Red panda cubs have made their debut at Bronx Zoo and Prospect Park Zoo. Both litters consist of a male and female and were born this summer. |
