Stephen Quake sequenced his genetic code using a team of just three people. Only last year, decoding...http://www.newser.com/story/66597/get-your-genome-sequenced-for-just-50k.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 11 Aug 2009 4:30:05 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/66211/hiv-genome-decoded-raising-hopes-for-treatment.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThe entire structure of the virus that causes AIDS has been decoded for the first time, a breakthrough that may eventually lead to effective treatments for the disease and others like it, Reuters reports. University of North Carolina researchers, using a new method they liken to zooming out on a...http://www.newser.com/story/66211/hiv-genome-decoded-raising-hopes-for-treatment.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 06 Aug 2009 4:15:02 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/57031/bovine-industry-boon-cow-genome-sequenced.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagA 5-year, $53 million project has resulted in the sequencing of the cow genome, the Houston Chronicle reports. The results will likely take the guesswork out of breeding, but also mark the end of big-money sequencing projects. “It was pretty dumb to do the cow for $50 million when the...http://www.newser.com/story/57031/bovine-industry-boon-cow-genome-sequenced.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 23 Apr 2009 16:30:20 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/56356/genes-reveal-elevated-risk-of-stroke.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTwo genetic variations that increase the risk of stroke are present in an unexpectedly large proportion of the population, Reuters reports. Scientists analyzed the genomes of over 19,000 people, looking for single-letter changes in DNA in those who had experienced ischemic strokes. The two variations they identified, located near...http://www.newser.com/story/56356/genes-reveal-elevated-risk-of-stroke.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 16 Apr 2009 11:54:19 CDThttp://www.newser.com/story/51063/dna-tests-can-improve-health-and-ruin-privacy.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagGenetic testing is quickly becoming cheaper and widely available, prompting questions of whether the privacy of this most personal data can be ensured, writes Peter Dizikes for Salon. Companies such as 23andMe and Navigenics can study your genes for $399 or so to determine if you're at risk for a...http://www.newser.com/story/51063/dna-tests-can-improve-health-and-ruin-privacy.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagTue, 17 Feb 2009 18:22:06 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/50674/scientists-decode-neanderthal-genome.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagScientists using ancient fossils have pieced together a rough draft of Neanderthals' genetic code, the Times of London reports. The development could eventually shed light on how they thought, spoke, and functioned, and why they disappeared. Because Neanderthals are humans' closest relatives, scientists may be able to get a better...http://www.newser.com/story/50674/scientists-decode-neanderthal-genome.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 12 Feb 2009 19:04:00 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/50663/scientists-map-common-colds-genome.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagResearchers have completed a “family tree” for the common cold, paving the way for an eventual cure to one of mankind’s most stubborn ailments, the New York Times reports. Scientists mapped the genomes of the 99 variations of rhinovirus, which causes most colds, and have cataloged the weaknesses of specific...http://www.newser.com/story/50663/scientists-map-common-colds-genome.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 12 Feb 2009 16:43:20 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/47383/the-5-best-species-to-resurrect.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagNow that scientists have the woolly mammoth’s genome, the possibility of resurrecting the giant creatures—and other impressive species from our planet’s past—is a bit closer. Which megafauna would you bring back? New Scientist lists its favorites: Sabre-toothed tiger. This massive cat with huge fangs would surely be an...http://www.newser.com/story/47383/the-5-best-species-to-resurrect.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagThu, 08 Jan 2009 16:27:01 CSThttp://www.newser.com/story/43138/scientists-map-dna-of-woolly-mammoth.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagScientists have pieced together the nearly complete genome of the woolly mammoth from a hair strand found in Siberia, National Geographic reports. It's the first time scientists have decoded the nuclear DNA of an extinct species. The development makes it theoretically possible for the mammoths to roam the earth again...http://www.newser.com/story/43138/scientists-map-dna-of-woolly-mammoth.html?utm_source=syn&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tagWed, 19 Nov 2008 18:42:01 CST
