DOE JGI sets 'gold standard' for metagenomic data analysis

...entire community, so you only get a glimpse of the identities of multiple genomes. All the publications to date have made the assumption that these tools will work as efficiently for metagenomes, "but we really didn't know." Nikos Kyrpides, DOE JGI Genome Biology Program Head, said that, to evaluate the magn...

Scientists identify 36 genes, 100 neuropeptides in honey bee brains

...cal and physiological data, we first must know the identities of the peptides used in the brain and the genes they are encoded by," Sweedler said. Using a combination of the newly available honey bee genome sequence, as well as bioinformatics and mass spectrometry, Sweedler and collaborators from the United S...

New DNA 'fingerprinting' technique separates hemp from marijuana

...genetic markers that together established separate identities for each of the four cultivars. "We think this technique has the potential to distinguish marijuana varieties as well," said Weiblen. "It has implications not just for separating hemp from marijuana in countries where hemp cultivation is permitted, ...

Greasing interferon's gears may pave way to greater therapeutic benefits, fewer side effects

...oup engineered a mutant Stat1 protein in which the identities of two amino acids were switched. Investigations conducted on cells growing in culture showed that the altered Stat1 proteins reacted more efficiently to the presence of both type I and type II interferons. Further tests revealed that the souped-up S...

Software 'agents' could help unmask reality of disease clusters

...d meaningful information without risking patients' identities being revealed. Agents are advanced software programmes that can be set a specific task but then given the autonomy to set goals and carry out the operations necessary to achieve them. By constructing virtual institutions in which agents can act, c...

Study reveals new technique for fingerprinting environmental samples
