Mitochondrial DNA sequencing tool updated

... in the non-coding D-loop, long considered to be a sequencing no-man's land and which the original MitoChip did ...ts in England performed the then-Herculean feat of sequencing the complete human mitochondrial genome. The genome consisted of 16,568 base pair, or units, of DNA...

A more powerful and efficient engine for rice: the C3-C4 challenge

...he early 1990s. But new knowledge generated by the sequencing of the rice genome is allowing researchers for the first time to discuss how they might work together to completely reconfigure what's known as the engine of rice production, the plant's photosynthetic system. "If you think of the rice plant as a ...

Nanopore method could revolutionize genome sequencing

...maller than the diameter of a human hair. Because sequencing a person's genome would take several months and millions of dollars with current DNA sequencing technology, the researchers say that the new method has the potential to usher in a revolution in me...

New method for identifying microbes

...highly conserved "single point" reference gene. By sequencing these tags and comparing the sequenced code with databases of known bacterial genomes, the Brookhaven team determined that this specific 16-letter region contains enough unique genetic information to successfully identify all community members down t...

Genome changes tracked during multiple myeloma initiation, progression and treatment

...project, their results will serve to direct costly sequencing efforts toward those specific regions that contain genes displaying high pathogenic relevance. "This story clearly indicates that we are dealing with the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the universe of cancer genes," says Dr. DePinho. ...

Scientists force viruses to evolve as better delivery vehicles for gene therapy

...ibodies required to neutralize the wild virus. By sequencing the survivor strains, the researchers discovered that the capsid proteins of the survivors differed from those of the original strain by only seven amino acid building blocks, two of which were responsible for most of the altered interaction with ant...

Sociality of sweat bees evolved simultaneously during climate change

...y's eusocial lineages and their relatives. The DNA sequencing sheds light on how divergent the various species are from each other, and the fossils allow the researchers to represent the phylogeny in terms of a timeline in millions of years. In 2002 and 2004, Danforth showed that the social evolution of the va...

Georgia Tech accelerates drug discovery with new IBM supercomputing cluster

...to utilize the vast information growing out of the sequencing of the human genome, enabling drug developers to reduce the number of compounds they must screen by a factor of 10." The 1000-node Cluster 1350 system built on IBM BladeCenter® systems and powered by dual-core AMD Opteron TM processors is capable o...

Cracking the genetic code for control of gene expression

...2006. A genome milestone was reached in 2001 when sequencing of the human genome was completed. This has been followed by complete chemical read-outs of DNA sequence for several species, for example mouse, dog, cow and chicken, in the recent years. But without a code or 'grammar' to reveal the message behind t...

Supersized 'island' of resistance genes discovered in an infectious bacterium
