The neuroscience community's "sparse knowledge" of mammalian neuroanatomical circuitry is "perhaps the largest lacuna in our knowledge about nervous system structure," Mitra and colleagues observe in their paper, which appears in the March issue of PLoS Computational Biology. The case for committing resources to assembly of a whole-brain circuit map is particularly strong, they say, because it almost certainly will provide insights about what goes wrong in brain dysfunctions spanning a range of...

Reversing Ecology Reveals Ancient Environments Mar 4, 2009
The work, published in the February issue of the Journal of Computational Biology, offers clues to the complex evolutionary interplay between organisms such as parasites and hosts. "Based on reverse ecology, you can start with an organism say, a certain bacterial species that you know nothing about ecologically. But by looking at its genome and metabolic network, you can recreate that past environment the organism lived in," said Elhanan Borenstein, lead author of the paper and a postdoctoral...

Dismal science education explains dispute over Darwin Feb 15, 2009
When I co-chaired with Dr. Mary Ann Rankin, dean of natural sciences at UT Austin, a committee of my colleagues in The Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science of Texas (TAMEST), we found that without good science education children would have difficulties accepting and understanding the promise of science and its realization as we embark on new avenues of genome sequences, computational biology and embryonic stem cell therapies. If our public school science education system worked, students... (Houston Chronicle)
Scientists begin to decode the history of human evolution Feb 14, 2009
But it is only now that we can really begin to address it, said Carlos Bustamante, a professor of computational biology at Cornell University. Over the ages we catalogued the anatomical differences between people and eventually biochemical differences, too. (Atlanta Journal-Constitution -- Health)
