Whisky fans can drink to crop research

...earch leader, said, "We will be using experimental techniques that have been developed in human and other plant genetic studies to analyse a crop that has huge economic importance. We expect to be able to identify the genes that could lead to improvements in the quality of barley that will be of interest to gro...

New gene scanning technology marks a major advance in disease research

Israeli scientists successfully transplant frozen-thawed ovaries in sheep

... advances they have demonstrated from new freezing techniques may have potential for other human organ transplants, which are currently done using only fresh grafts. Co-author Yehudit Nathan, program manager at Core Dynamics, the biotech company that funded and provided the scientific and technological experti...

New plant DNA libraries provides massive boost to world's plant researchers

... other regions from the final plant "library". The techniques used by the Warwick researchers remove this limitation and make the plant's entire DNA available to researchers. The new plant DNA libraries include: Aloe Vera - a plant with interesting medicinal properties and a DNA structure made up of 16,000 me...

LIAI scientists make major finding on potential smallpox treatment

...o had received the smallpox vaccine. "We used new techniques that we developed that made it easier to identify and isolate antibodies from the blood of immunized humans. Then we carefully screened for the antibodies that fight the smallpox virus," he said. The researchers then tested their findings by creatin...

Drugs from the deep blue

...re with the same properties. This work can pull in techniques from different areas of chemistry and biochemistry, but the pathways used to make these products naturally are far too complex to reproduce with current genetic engineering techniques, Molinski said. One of their finds is phorboxazole, made by an In...

Genetic link confirmed between Polynesians and indigenous Taiwanese

... of Polynesians and indigenous Taiwanese. Genetic techniques involving mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been used to try and determine whether there is a link between Polynesians and other Southeast Asian populations by estimating how much mtDNA different populations have in common. Early results were conflictin...

Elusive salamanders have role in developing new sampling models

...task is to develop a method to make field sampling techniques more accurate and efficient. With that information, we can improve our models, and we should be able to do a better job of predicting the type and location of suitable habitats plus minimize unnecessary and time-consuming sampling." Of more than 1,0...

Firefly protein lets researchers monitor molecule linked to cancer

...Piwnica-Worms' laboratory has previously developed techniques that use luciferase to monitor protein-protein interactions. Researchers can employ an instrument known as an in-vivo bioluminescence camera to take real-time measurements of light from luciferase in cell cultures and in cells within live animals. T...

North & South American researchers find architectural abnormalities in T. cruzi ribosome

...s have developed a battery of complex mathematical techniques to reconcile the images at different angles. From a total of up to 30,000 ribosome images, they assemble a final three-dimensional image of a single ribosome. A ribosome binds to mRNA with its small subunit. In the new study, the most peculiar featu...
