International HapMap consortium expands mapping effort

...firms to contribute to building an even better map follows the collaborative tradition established by The SNP Consortium," said Arthur Holden, chairman and chief executive of The SNP Consortium. In addition to affecting risk of disease, genetic variation has been shown to affect the response of people to th...

NIH Calls on Scientists to Speed Public Release of Research Publications

...le electronic archive. The release of this policy follows months of intensive deliberations with representatives of patient and scientific organizations, researchers, and publishers. NIH posted the draft policy for public comment in September, and received and reviewed over 6,000 public comments. As part o...

Ancient immune defense mechanism is no match for HIV-1

...defense in which sequence-specific RNA degradation follows the recognition of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA). The dsRNA is processed by a protein called Dicer, which chops the long strands of RNA into smaller pieces, resulting in the production of an RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). RISC can specifically i...

Primates on the brink

...ernational Primatological Society in Turin, Italy, follows similar reports in 2000 and 2002. Fifteen of the primates on the new list, including the Sumatran orangutan of Indonesia and the northern muriqui of Brazil, are "three-time losers" for having appeared on all three lists. Seven are new additions to th...

DOE JGI launches IMG public online microbial genome data clearinghouse

...TC, who led the IMG development effort. "This goal follows the fundamental principle that the value of genome analysis depends on the quality of the data and increases with the number of genomes available for comparative analysis." Nikos Kyrpides, of DOE JGI's Microbial Genome Analysis Program (MGAP), provi...

$5.1 billion would save 6 million children

... Bryce, EdD, lead author of the study. This study follows a series of articles by Black, Bryce and their colleagues, published by The Lancet starting in June 2003, which examines the means to reduce global child mortality. They found that at least 6 million child deaths worldwide could be prevented with exi...

Speak up: Louder neurons form more connections

"Alcohol dependence follows a longitudinal course," explained Harper, "from initiation to development of dependence, maintenance, withdrawal, and more often than not, a return to drinking. Throughout this course, the brain undergoes significant biochemical and structural modifi...

Sperm trading can resolve hermaphrodite mating conflicts

...that is, giving sperm only when the mating partner follows suit. However, this prediction had never been proven experimentally. In the new work, researchers Nils Anthes, Annika Putz, and Nico Michiels generated individual sea slug hermaphrodites only capable of performing a "dry" copulation--that is, withou...

Gene Expression in the Aging Brain

...ael Eisen and colleagues show that the human brain follows this pattern. A similar pattern—which, surprisingly, involves different genes—is found in the brain of the aging chimpanzee. The authors compared results from three separate studies of age-related gene expression, each done on the same type of DNA m...

Navigating the brain for sense of direction as paradigm for higher cognitive functions
