Here we show that a comprehensive understanding of mouse biology is only possible with the availability of a finished, high-quality genome assembly. The finished clone-based assembly of the mouse strain C57BL/6J reported here has over 175,000 fewer gaps and over 139 Mb more of novel sequence, http://biomol.net/en/news/2009/05/lineage-specific-biology-revealed-by.html Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics News http://biomol.net/en/news/2009/05/lineage-specific-biology-revealed-by.html? Wed, 27 May 2009 10:46 GMT Classical and emerging infectious diseases, viral pandemics, and drug-resistant pathogens remain challenges to human health. However, contemporary advances in genetics and genomic technologies provide new approaches to understanding and combating these diseases. ASHG and HUGO are partnering with NPG to organize an international conference to discuss how the genomes, unique biologies, and http://biomol.net/en/news/2009/02/genetics-and-genomics-of-infectious.html Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics News http://biomol.net/en/news/2009/02/genetics-and-genomics-of-infectious.html? Mon, 23 Feb 2009 07:45 GMT The human genome has hidden levels of regulatory complexity and variability that have begun to reveal themselves since the initial sequence became available in 2001. Today, with increasingly powerful sequencing and analysis technologies, we are not only beginning to appreciate the scale of variation in individual human genome sequences, but also gaining a greater understanding of how genome http://biomol.net/en/news/2008/11/interpreting-human-genome-miami-2009.html Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics News http://biomol.net/en/news/2008/11/interpreting-human-genome-miami-2009.html? Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:05 GMT In 1994, two independent groups extracted DNA from several Pleistocene epoch mammoths and noted differences among individual specimens. Subsequently, DNA sequences have been published for a number of extinct species. However, such ancient DNA is often fragmented and damaged, and studies to date have typically focused on short mitochondrial sequences, never yielding more than a fraction of a per http://biomol.net/en/news/2008/11/sequencing-mammoth-genome.html Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics News http://biomol.net/en/news/2008/11/sequencing-mammoth-genome.html? Mon, 24 Nov 2008 05:44 GMT What genes and regulatory sequences contribute to the organization and functioning of neural circuits and molecular pathways in the brain that support social behavior? How does social experience interact with information in the genome to modulate brain activity? Here, we address these questions by highlighting progress that has been made in identifying and understanding two key "vectors of http://biomol.net/en/news/2008/11/genes-and-social-behavior.html Molecular Biology and Bioinformatics News http://biomol.net/en/news/2008/11/genes-and-social-behavior.html?
