New, automated tool successfully classifies and relates proteins in unprecedented way

...e too limited todescribe the many complex location patterns we found. Of course, theother drawback of term-based approaches is that they have to beassigned manually by database curators, and this is often notconsistent between different curators," said Murphy.Murphy and his colleagues are currently amassing m...

Genome-wide mouse study yields link to human leukemia

...rk Genome Sequencing (RLGS) to compare methylation patterns among the three groups of mice ?a method of using enzymes and gel electrophoresis to map tiny bits of DNA on a grid. The stretches of DNA, referred to as fragments, show up as smudgy blobs on a test film. If a fragment is dark and definite, it is not...

A bacterial genome reveals new targets to combat infectious disease

...e either been degraded or preserved, and highlight patterns in the genome structure through comparisons with other bacteria. For example, Wolbachia can manufacture some essential metabolic coenzymes, which do not appear to be made by its host. Conversely, it cannot synthesize amino acids and a variety of othe...

Researchers trace evolution to relatively simple genetic changes

...Now, Kingsley said, "it turns out that armor plate patterns in the fish are controlled by the same gene that creates this clinical disease in humans. And this finding is related to the old argument whether Nature can use the same genes and create other traits in other animals." Ordinarily, "you wouldn't look...

Octopuses occasionally stroll around on two arms, UC Berkeley biologists report

Ice core 'dipstick' indicates West Antarctic ice has thinned less than believed

...hat provided a picture of temperature and snowfall patterns near Siple Dome. The layers get thinner and thinner with depth, as more ice and snow piles up. But the thinness of the layers deposited near the end of the Last Glacial Maximum indicate the ice also was being thinned by ice streams that were flowing ...

New insight into people who 'see' colors in letters and numbers

...ch experiment, they presented six synesthetes with patterns of black letters or numbers--known as "graphemes"--on a white background. They chose those graphemes that the synesthetes reported elicited specific colors. They designed the experiment so that if the synesthetes really were seeing the colors, that c...

The discovery of these developmentally important sequences opens several avenues of new research. For example, analyzing the sequence and location of these CNEs...

Scientists solve structure of key protein in innate immune response
