Powerful genome ID method extended to humans

...y conventional sequencing, Green said, adding that sequencing can simply miss part of a genome. Optical mapping, by contrast, can estimate the absolute length of a genome and quickly detect differences in length and structure between two genomes. Comparing optical maps of healthy and diseased genomes can gui...

The first tree genome is published: Poplar holds promise as renewable bioenergy resource

...e to be sequenced and assembled by a single public sequencing facility and only the third plant to date to have its genome completely sequenced and published. The first, back in 2000, was the tiny weed, Arabidopsis thaliana, an important model for plant genetics. Rice was the second, two years ago. Populus tric...

A rice future for Asia

...cientific activity," Dr. Zeigler said. "The recent sequencing of the rice genome attracted enormous international attention, especially among the scientific community, yet most young Asians still don't know it even happened, let alone understand its implications for the food they eat each day." During their fi...

New research finds surveys of larval-stage organisms effective for measuring marine biodiversity
