And while it's true that researchers can and have sequenced individual genes, they had to use a process that was expensive and terribly laborious--like writing your own reference book before you can start any real experiments. Having the sequences laid out in advance gives the scientific world a...
Those sequences are so useful, in fact, that researchers started tapping into the data long before they were complete. Scientists at drug firms, biotech companies and university labs have taken literally hundreds of baby steps into the era of genomic medicine using an impressive array of powerful new tools: DNA...
His next step was to look at the same gene in the mouse, taking advantage of the fact that the noncoding portions of the genome in man and mouse are 75% similar. Three weeks after pulling the gene's human sequence off GenBank, Altshuler lined up the mouse and man...
Proof at the genetic level that origin means more than location is coming in. Researchers at Stanford have been studying liver, breast, prostate and lung cancers for clues to their telltale molecular fingerprints. Using microarrays to sense which genes are turned on in sample tissues, says geneticist Charles Perou, the...
Researchers led by Louis Staudt, an oncologist at the National Cancer Institute, have been asking similar questions about lymphoma. In a paper published in the scientific journal Nature, they showed how lymphomas that look the same under the pathologist's microscope aren't necessarily identical. Staudt and his colleagues used...
