The earliest animals had human-like genes

...the structure of bones, teeth, or tissues. But DNA sequencing now permits scientists to make comparisons of the genetic code and read evolutionary history from it. An international consortium involving researchers from EMBL, the UK, France and the United States has now sequenced a part of the Platynereis genome...

A bug's life: Exceptional genomic stability yet rapid protein evolution in a carpenter ant mutualist

...cies, represents the second largest ant genus. By sequencing the genomes of symbiotic microbes, scientists are currently uncovering the biological and mechanistic basis for these mutualistic associations. One of the primary genomic characteristics of obligate bacterial symbionts is a massive reduction in genom...

UF study first to quantify validity of DNA I.D. tool using marine snails

...ction of cowries. After 10 years of collecting and sequencing cowries from around the world, Meyer and Paulay assembled a database from 218 species. The public has long been fascinated by the shiny, colorful shells, ardently collecting them for centuries, Meyer said. "The question is what happens as you move a...

On a wing and a prayer - Alaska researchers seek clues to bird flu

...nt to The Institute of Genomic Research (TIGR) for sequencing of the entire viral RNA genome which will then be published in GenBank, the National Institutes of Health collection of all publicly available RNA and DNA sequences. With gene sequences, bird species, geographic location and capture information in h...

Purdue researchers find key to rice blast fungus

... some additional pieces of the puzzle gleaned from sequencing the rice blast genome. They learned that the pathogen has a unique family of proteins that acts as feelers to tell the fungus when it has a good host plant and how the plant might fight a fungal invasion. These feelers are called G-protein-coupled re...

NHGRI expands effort to revolutionize sequencing technologies

...2 million to advance the development of innovative sequencing technologies intended to reduce the cost of DNA sequencing and expand the use of genomics in biomedical research and health care. "The efforts are aimed at sp...

New technique could alter field of mouse genetics

...genes. The strategy is as systematic as the genome sequencing projects -- mutate each gene, observe the consequences, and investigate the molecular mechanisms. In the past two decades, only about 3,000 of the estimated 25,000 genes shared by mice and humans have been analyzed in detail, Xu said. A reliable gene...

Evolution of life on Earth may hold key to finding life in outer space
