A new mechanism of regulating RNA degradation

...cognized for several years. "We were surprised to find that Staufen1 interacts with Upf1," she added. "This is a whole new function for Staufen1 that couldn't have been predicted from the studies in flies, even though a similar function may occur in flies." The team discovered that Staufen1 doesn't inte...

It's not all genetic: Common epigenetic problem doubles cancer risk in mice

...n people, the current experiments were designed to find out whether the loss of imprinting is involved in cancer's development or just in its progression. "Most researchers, including me, expect epigenetic differences to influence progression -- whether a tumor would grow slowly or quickly, or whether it...

Novel technology detects human DNA mutations

...ugh the more than one billion base pairs of DNA to find a particular base pair of interest. Once that base pair is located, it is then necessary to determine if either of the bases is mutated (i.e., has SNPs). Nanosphere's technology can rapidly, easily, and accurately interrogate both bases in the pair t...

Poor prenatal nutrition permanently damages function of insulin-producing cells in the pancreas

...uence, said Dr. Patti. "In our study, we needed to find out what was happening in these mice, before they got the problem." Their insulin levels provided a clue. In the prenatally undernourished mice, the insulin secretion stayed about the same, regardless of the glucose level in the bloodstream. "That s...

Termites feed through good vibrations

... signals were broadcast. Scientists are hoping to find ways to interfere with the termites' ability to select wood in order to reduce the economic impact of termite damage. "There is a common perception that termites are voracious and indiscriminate eaters, consuming all the wood that they find," Dr Evan...

New Technique for Tracking Gene Regulators

...technique gives us a new way to index the code, to find the placeswhere regulators act ?where the on/off switches are that determinewhich genes are at work in different types of cells under differentconditions,?he said.Previous, individual experiments have identified about 100 places whereCREB binds to DN...

Genome-wide mouse study yields link to human leukemia

...e range of methylated fragments is exactly what we find in human leukemia, too," says Caligiuri, "so that gives added merit to our mouse model as an investigative tool." Using data from the methylation studies, Caligiuri and Plass were able to identify a particular stretch of DNA, called Id4, as a tumor ...

Scientists seek answers on what activates deadly anthrax spores

...er and three other institutions are setting out to find what activates the spores in anthrax, the deadly bacterial infection that is back in the news. "A key aspect of anthrax spore biology concerns the germination process through which the dormant spore becomes a reproductive, disease-causing bacterium,...

Study finds more than one-third of human genome regulated by RNA

...echnology becomes moresophisticated, I think we'll find that even more genes are targeted bymicroRNAs," predicts Lewis.In addition, the team discovered some hints about how microRNAs findtheir targets.To produce a protein, the cell first makes a template for that proteinby constructing a molecule called m...
