- Do you have to be fat?
- The biggest danger to our health is not in our genes but in the comforts that came with 20th century life. Many of the genes in our bodies evolved to deal with hardship. Without hardship those same genes become a handicap. by Dana Blankenhorn

- Drink beer to avoid cancer...
- The International Genetically Engineered Machine iGEM synthetic biology competition will be held on November 8-9 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 85 teams will be part of this contest, using 'a standard toolkit of DNA building blocks -- think genetic LEGO blocks -- to create living organisms that do odd things.' One of...

- Fatties are just food addicts
- Fatties are just food addictsPossible explanations for drug side effectsInteresting. This might explain the fact that many people who take neuroleptic drugs for schizophrenia, Tourette's syndrome, bipolar syndrome, etc., gain weight. Neuroleptics are commonly developed starting with compounds which block D2 dopamine receptors, then going through steps to tweak the...

- Would you abort George Clooney
- Would you abort George ClooneyWowNot willing to take on controversial topics, are you? Good luck with this one. :)Here's my two cents: Genetic research and the possibility of using it to "purify" the gene pool using whatever criteria can be justified reminds me of an episode of the old Muppet...

- Would you abort George Clooney
- When the subject at hand is controversial, or unpopular, as gays remain in some circles, it's very easy to conceive of a plan to eliminate that trait from the gene pool. But what about when it's George Clooney? by Dana Blankenhorn

- We can change your cells and cure your diabetes
- Transforming cells through the injection of genes is a very big deal. While it will take some time to prove, and even more time to reach the market, it's a true medical revolution. by Dana Blankenhorn

- Sanger Institute's Research Proves EVA4400 Benefits From Strong Genes
- The Sanger Institute was one of the major team members in the Human Genome Project, the international effort to define human chromosomes, genes and DNA sequences. The Institute wanted to provide storage capacity to support huge genome database. The Sanger Institute deployed beta testing of HP StorageWorks 4400 Enterprise Virtual...

- Recreating 3.5 billion year-old genes
- A U.S. team of scientists wanted to determine what was the Earth's temperature several billions years ago. But because most of the team was composed of biologists, the researchers took an unusual approach. Instead of analyzing rock formations or measuring isotopes in fossils, they've 'resurrected' a variety of genes and...

- Will diatoms lead to faster computer chips?
- Diatoms are unicellular algae and one of the most common types of phytoplankton. One of their main characteristics is they encase themselves in shells made of silica. According to a team of U.S. researchers who successfully decoded the genome of a particular diatom named Thalassiosira pseudonana, these very small algae...

- Life in extreme environments
- U.S. biologists have developed a model mapping the control circuit governing a bacteria named Halobacterium salinarum, which can live in extremely salty environments, and that can survive to radiation which would be deadly to most other organisms. Their model shows how these bacteria adapt themselves in response to their environment....

- A cancer-resistant mouse?
- University of Kentucky researchers have created a cancer-resistant mouse by introducing a tumor-suppressor gene called 'Par-4' into an egg. The 'Par-4' gene, discovered in 1993, kills cancer cells, but not normal cells. It was originally found in the prostate, but this gene also can lead to the death of a...

- A supercomputer to design better plants?
- Is it possible to create more productive crops than nature does without growing hybrids or genetically modified plants? According to researchers at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign UIUC, the answer is yes . They've simulated photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert light to energy, with the help of supercomputers...
