After the completion of a draft sequence of the Chinese hybrid rice genome, which was published in the Journal Science in 2002, CAS researchers have recently finished the fine map of the rice genome. In an article published by the recent issue of PLoS Biology (Vol.3 Issue 2, 2005), scientists led by the Beijing Institute of Genomics (BIG) reported a "much improved, near-complete genome analysis o...Genome-wide mouse study yields link to human leukemia
Thanks to a handful of very special mice, scientists have discovered a new tumor suppressor gene and a unique chemical signature implicated in the development of human leukemia, findings that open up a "treasure box" of opportunity and possibility, study authors say. Researchers in The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center bred a type of mouse that develops acute lymphoblastic...S. pombe Whole Genome ChIP-on-chip from Agilent Technologies

The completion of rough draft sequence of the human genes is a major scientific milestone and was achieved on 26.06.2000. The project began more than 10 years ago to map out almost 35 billion chemical letters that make up the recipe of human life. This breakthrough is expected to revolutionize the practice of medicine by paving the way for new drugs and medical therapies.Specific sequences...Controversial deal on public access of the human genome map

It will also help say whether a cell will function normall...Innovative yeast genome may handle Cancer Clues
According to scientists mapping of have mapped all the genes in a second type of yeast that they hope will provide new insights into basic cell biology and the development of cancer.A team of international scientists led by Nobel medicine laureate Sir Paul Nurse of the charity Cancer Research UK has sequenced the genome of fission yeast, a cousin of the brewer's yeast whose genome// was mapped.<b...Primates reveal a new dimension to human genome
Two laboratories at Berkeley, California have come out with a tremendous technique that would tell out the entire multitude of information held in store in the human genome. This new technique which is called "phylogenetic shadowing". An analysis through this technique helps to elucidate comparisons between the DNA sequences// in humans and primates. Phylogenetic shadowing enables a complete stud...Human Diseases May Have Clue In Human-Chimp Genome Difference
In a study by a researcher from University of California, San Diego, suggests that the clues of human diseases are found not in the similarity of the genome sequences between man and chimpanzee but the differences// in them.
