A group of scientists in Princeton's Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology has uncovered a new biological mechanism that could provide a clearer window into a cell's inner workings.

A team of scientists has catalogued chemical tags attached to more than 800 genes from 76 human brain samples and collected the first evidence of how these special, inherited epigenetic "marks" might account for different brain functions. The results appear in the December issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics.

Scientists at Duke University have created the first map of imprinted genes throughout the human genome, and they say a modern-day Rosetta stone – a form of artificial intelligence called machine learning – was the key to their success.

 | One gene for pea pod color generates green pods while a variant of that gene gives rise to the yellow-pod phenotype, a feature that helped Gregor Mendel, the 19th century Austrian priest and scientist, first describe genetic inheritance. However, many modern-day geneticists are focused on the strange ability of some genes to be expressed spontaneously in either of two possible ways. ...> Full Article |
 | Using a novel "deep sequencing" technology that can in one fell swoop decode 50 million sequences representing well over a billion bases of DNA, a research team led by University of Delaware scientists is working to unmask where, why and how certain genes are switched on or off in rice--a crop vital to the world's food supply. ...> Full Article |
 | Scientists have discovered a pattern in the DNA sequence of the mouse genome that may play a fundamental part in the way DNA molecules regulate gene expression. The research, led by Emory University scientists along with colleagues at Jacobs University, Bremen, Germany, will be published in the Aug. 22 Advance Online publication of the journal Nature. ...> Full Article |
The age-old debate of nature versus nurture has a new twist: Scientists say the two N's may be so entwined that their influence on our genes combines to shape our health and development in ways we never imagined.

NimbleGen Systems, Inc. announced today the addition of DNA methylation analysis microarrays and services to its growing suite of genomic and epigenetic analysis tools. In addition to microarray designs allowing researchers to survey whole genomes, promoter regions, CpG islands, and ENCODE-defined regions, researchers can customize the content of their arrays based on individual study goals.
