Flesh-eating plant discards DNA ‘junk’

June 7, 2013
Scientists have spent decades puzzling over why noncoding DNA makes up the majority (98%) of the human genome, but studying the genome of carnivorous bladderwort plant, Utricularia gibba has offered...

Hopping back to the gene pool

April 3, 2013
Scientists have revitalised the genome of an extinct Australian frog using sophisticated cloning technology.Using somatic nuclear transfer, the Lazarus Project team is closer than ever to bringing the Rheobatrachus silus...

Modelling embryo development

October 24, 2012
Biologists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have studied how gene networks control development in sea-urchin embryos for the last decade. Now, for the first time, they have built...

New genetic variants linked to bipolar disorder

October 3, 2012
Scientists have gained new understanding of the origin of bipolar disorder by identifying genetic variants linked to signalling pathways in the brain likely to be involved in causing the neurological...

New genes implicated in bone strength

August 30, 2012
Nine new genes determining bone strength have been discovered with a new and rapid functional screening approach, and could provide clues to human skeletal diseases. An international team of researchers...

APOE4 Alzheimer’s risk probed

August 21, 2012
People carrying the Alzheimer’s risk gene APOE4 are more likely to develop the neurological disease because they have trouble clearing the amyloid plaques characteristic of the illness say researchers in...

Tomato genome sequenced

July 2, 2012
The tomato is a major crop plant and model for fruit development, and scientists have released a high-quality genome sequence for the domesticated variety and a draft sequence for its...

New technique to improve epigenetics research

June 29, 2012
Scientists have developed a new chemical technique that will significantly improve their ability to perform epigenetics research and help them understand how cells develop and function.One of the most studied...
