Space matters: Estimating species diversity in the fossil record

...istributions and extinction. Barnosky et al. used mapping and imaging systems that generate direct measures of the geography for a given set of fossil species. To get a sense of diversity across time and space, the authors used a recently completed archival database (which they also built) that integrates t...

Public collections of DNA and RNA sequence reach 100 gigabases

...plication of effort, and began the arduous task of mapping the fields from one database onto those of the other so that they could exchange information. By the time the International Nucleotide Sequence Consortium became formalized in February 1987, a third partner, the DNA Data Bank of Japan, had been launc...

Drugs from the deep blue

...icated screening capabilities and discoveries from mapping the human genome, have created a renaissance of interest in these sources of potential medicines. Molinski's laboratory studies the chemistry and biology of marine natural products, or chemical compounds made by sea creatures. It is part of a develo...

NHGRI expands effort to revolutionize sequencing technologies

...ce information. In addition, they will use optical mapping to create restriction maps to help assemble the genome once it is sequenced. The group will then demonstrate how to combine the sequence and maps into distinct haplotype sequences. Gregory L. Timp, Ph.D., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. ...

US/African project deciphers deadly parasite genome

...rlos Seré, the director-general of ILRI, says that mapping the T. parva genome represents a significant step toward the ambitious goal of developing a genomics based sub-unit vaccine to control this protozoan pathogen. "Such an achievement would be a major breakthrough for vaccine development and would incre...

"This is arguably the next major step after the human genome project," says Professor Claes Wahlestedt, M.D., Ph.D., who is the director of Pharmacogenomics at Scripps Florida. Wahlestedt is...

Breath of the dragon: ERS-2 and Envisat reveal impact of economic growth on China's air quality

...benefits - and some challenges. Global atmospheric mapping of nitrogen dioxide pollution performed by ERS-2's GOME and Envisat's SCIAMACHY reveals the world's largest amount of NO2 hanging above Beijing and northeast China, as reported in Nature this week. As part of ESA's Dragon Programme, European and Chi...

...inson's, diabetes and a host of other diseases, so mapping the normal route a protein takes - and finding the off-ramps that might lead to misfolding ?are vitally important," Wittung-Stafshede said. Rice's studies were carried out on monomeric lactose repressor protein, or MLAc, a variant of the protein use...

Lateral thinking produces first map of gene transmission

A University of Queensland study mapping the evolution of genes has shed light on the role of gene transfer in bacterial diseases. The study, published recently in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, was conducted by three scientists at UQ's Institute for Molecular Biosci...

New maps reveal true extent of human footprint on Earth

...Monfreda, a graduate student at SAGE, is similarly mapping the location, range and yields of over 150 individual crops reared around the planet. The exercise is already beginning to cast light on some emerging trends. Countries such as Argentina and Brazil, for instance, have increasingly cleared forests to...
