Genome sequencing: The greening of plant genomics
24.7.2007 | Press monitoring
In the genomics world, plants are second-class citizens. Researchers have sequenced the DNA of hundreds of microbes and dozens of animals, yet they have deciphered the genomes of just three plants, Arabidopsis, rice, and poplar--four, if you count Chlamydomonas, an alga.
Scientists work to create nanogenerator
23.7.2007 | Press monitoring
U.S. scientists are developing a nanogenerator -- a tiny device that produces electricity from flowing blood, pulsating blood vessels, or a beating heart.
By gum, it might just be a solution
22.7.2007 | Press monitoring
Selective crossbreeding to speed the growth of trees offers a breakthrough in meeting the increasing world demand for timber and at the same time saving forests.
Scientists find brain tumor protein link
21.7.2007 | Press monitoring
U.S. medical scientists have identified a link between two brain tumor proteins -- a discovery that might lead to new treatments for brain cancer.
Genomic analysis uncovers new targets for HIV vaccine
20.7.2007 | Press monitoring
An international team of researchers has identified three gene variants in the DNA of 486 people infected with HIV that appear to have helped some of the patients fight off the virus and delay the onset of full-blown AIDS.

Nano propellers pump with proper chemistry
18.7.2007 | Press monitoring
The ability to pump liquids at the cellular scale opens up exciting possibilities, such as precisely targeting medicines and regulating flow into and out of cells. But designing this molecular machinery has proven difficult.
Corn-Genome Sequencing May Lead to Increased Global Production
17.7.2007 | Press monitoring
Corn production, as well as the crop's resistance to disease, pests and drought, may increase within three years because researchers in Mexico have sequenced the grain's genome.
