Noted biologist plans UCSD lab San Diego Union-Tribune
Biologist J. Craig Venter, whose role in the Human Genome Project brought him international fame and fortune, hopes to build a lab at UCSD for developing drugs from ocean microbes, the university's officials and researchers have confirmed.
U.S. Agencies Fund Project To Sequence Honeybee Genome U.S. Department of State
A research consortium supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), an entity within the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), published a draft genome sequence of the western honeybee, finding that its genome is more similar to humans than any other insect sequenced so far. NHGRI provided $6.9 million for the project and the U.S. Agriculture Department contributed
Novel Experiment Documents Evolution Of Genome In Near-real Time Science Daily
UCSD bioengineers report in the November issue of Nature Genetics rapid evolutionary changes in a bacterial genome, observed in near-real time over a few days. Scientists have previously published static "snapshots" of the genome sequences of more than 100 bacterial species, but this new report shows how these genomes are moving targets.
Transplanted Photoreceptor Precursor Cells Restore Visual Function In Mice With Retinal Degeneration Science Daily
Scientists have successfully transplanted light-sensing cells called photoreceptors directly into the eyes of mice and restored their visual function. The achievement is based on a novel technology in which the cells are introduced at a particular stage in their development. The experiment has potential implications for human eye diseases that dim the sight of millions of people.
Newly Discovered Proteins Associated With Cystic Fibrosis Medical News Today
Researchers have found a highly unusual distribution of two proteins in the lungs and airways of people with cystic fibrosis, a discovery that could be a step in determining how the disease progresses. The proteins, first uncovered as a result of the human genome project, are thought to play a role in the body's immune system. [click link for full article]
Democratizing diagnostics Medical Device Link
The sequencing of the human genome and the refining of molecular technologies have given doctors new opportunities to treat individual patients, not just their diseases.
More Human-Neandertal Mixing Evidence Uncovered Science Daily
A reexamination of ancient human bones from Romania reveals more evidence that humans and Neandertals interbred. Erik Trinkaus, Ph.D., Washington University Mary Tileston Hemenway Professor in Arts & Sciences, and colleagues radiocarbon-dated and analyzed the shapes of human bones from Romania's Petera Muierii (Cave of the Old Woman). The fossils, discovered in 1952, add to the small number of
Gene-Mapping Project Targets Schizophrenia American Psychological Association
SANTA FE -- Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., visited a research institute here Friday where scientists hope to unlock the genetic code to one of mankind's most baffling mental disorders.
Two Nerve Cells In Direct Contact Science Daily
For the first time, scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology in Martinsried near Munich have been able to show how two nerve cells communicate with each other from different hemispheres in the visual center. This astoundingly simple circuit diagram could at a later date provide a model for algorithms to be deployed in technical systems (Nature Neuroscience, Oct. 10, 2006).
Neuron Cell Stickiness May Hold Key To Evolution Of The Human Brain Science Daily
The stickiness of human neurons may have been a key factor in why the human brain evolved beyond the brains of our primate relatives. In a study comparing the genomes of humans, chimpanzees and other vertebrates, researchers at the US Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Joint Genome Institute (JGI) found a strikingly high degree of genetic differences
