Genome Code Cracked for Breast and Colon Cancers

...spread or control. 'Just as sequencing the human genome laid the groundwork for subsequent research in genetics, these data lay the foundation for decades of research on colon and breast cancers,' says Victor Velculescu, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Cente...

Using Multiphoton Microscopy to See Chromosomes in Action

...istranded chromosomes with hundreds of sets of the genome instead of the usual two sets in conventional cells. This enlarges the usual nuclear dimensions by about 10 times, making them large enough to image the detail. The results were stunning. "Within two weeks we had spectacular pictures," said Lis. Th...

Herpes Infects Cornea, Evades Immune Cells

Breeding success by delving into the honey bee sex gene

...lso sequenced six so-called neutral regions of the genome which, unlike genes, do not carry codes telling cells how to make proteins. Then, the researchers constructed gene genealogies—family trees for both the csd gene and the neutral regions. Their results showed that csd is about seven times more variab...
