New technique will produce a better chromosome map

...Only about 10 percent of the slides processed this way provide useable images and even those rarely offer crisp structural details, Novikov said. The new approach includes two components: the use of mechanical devices to spread and flatten the cells, and the application of computer-based image process...

UQ research heralds vaccine technology breakthrough

...said clinical trials were forthcoming, leading the way to the vaccine becoming available in the clinic. He hoped it would become one of the vaccines given to all infants in their first three months of life. The mature paediatric market for an RSV vaccine has been estimated at approximately US$800 milli...

New Brandeis research sheds light on memory by erasing it

...ynapse after inhibitor is applied. This provides a way to directly visualize the forgetting process and complements previous work done in Lisman's laboratory showing that when LTP is induced (as during learning), CaMKII moves into the synapse. ...

New bacteria test could improve quality of fruit and vegetable juice

... "This combination will be the best way to quickly and accurately detect and identify the bacteria," said Lin, who worked with researchers from Washington State University and Hashemite University in Jordan, to develop the technique. "If processors find the bacteria, they can go back quick...

Scientists identify prion's infectious secret

...ure, these findings provide researchers with a new way to approach old questions, such as why some prion diseases can jump from one species to another but others can’t. Tessier and Lindquist say it is likely that natural prions contain more than one recognition element, and recognition elements can slide...

The on-going project - run in conjunction with Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona - is being led by palaeontologist Dr Phil Manning, who received a grant of Euro 9,000 from the Consorc...

DNA repair proteins monitored at double-strand break

...to this work, there was no practical and efficient way to find and study the DNA repair proteins that organize themselves on and around a double-strand break in human cells," said Michael Kastan, M.D., Ph.D., St. Jude Cancer Center director. "Our approach solved that problem and allowed us to document th...

UCLA AIDS Institute researchers find a peptide that encourages HIV infection

...DS Research and Human Retroviruses, could pave the way for the use of such peptides in gene therapy using HIV-based vectors as the delivery method. "Although it may seem counterintuitive to value or even study a peptide that increases the ability of HIV-1 to enter a broad range of human cells, retrovi...

Baumann Lab defines proteins that distinguish chromosome ends from DNA double-strand breaks

Published in tomorrow's issue of Molecular Cell, their paper entitled "A RAP1/TRF2 Complex Inhibits Non-Homologous End Joining at Human Telomeric DNA Ends" employed a biochemical assay for double...

DOE JGI sets 'gold standard' for metagenomic data analysis

"What we propose in the paper is a way to evaluate the appropriateness and accuracy of the binning methods using the same datasets in order to set a gold standard, we have designed the reference-simulated metagenome." Through the Nature Methods publication, Mavrommatis has invited oth...

Researchers attach genes to minichromosomes in maize

...e University of Missouri-Columbia has discovered a way to create engineered minichromosomes in maize and attach genes to those minichromosomes. This discovery opens new possibilities for the development of crops that are multiply resistant to viruses, insects, fungi, bacteria and herbicides, and for the ...

Sleepless for science: Flies show link between sleep, immune system in Stanford study

...eider and Shirasu-Hiza decided that an even better way would be to turn to established fly strains isolated decades ago that possess disruptions in their genes controlling circadian rhythm. In this case, these mutant flies could be kept under exactly the same light and temperature conditions as the norma...
