Cracked Corn: Scientists Solve Maize's Genetic Maze Nov 20, 2009
Deep into the maize Getting to the bottom of this staple's DNA, however, was no small task ... An abundance of genes It may seem strange that the number of DNA bases in humans should tally up nearly negligibly higher than they do in corn, but as Wilson points out, it's important "to not get hung up on the numbers." If we based our understanding of sophistication purely on these rankings, he says, "we pale in comparison to the pine tree." It's how the are organized that is important. (Scientific American)

Beyond Genomics, Biologists and Engineers Decode the Next Frontier Nov 20, 2009
The research allows scientists an unprecedented look at a special class of proteins called histones, which are at the core of every chromosome and control the way instructions in DNA are carried out. Despite rapid progress in understanding the information encoded in DNA and genes, scientists have achieved much less insight into the so-called "histone code," which determines why a gene in one cell functions differently than the same gene in another cell ... Despite carrying identical DNA, all... (Science Daily)

New research into the mechanisms of gene regulation Nov 20, 2009
GATA-1 binds to special sites on the cell's DNA. The first step of the project was to locate the genes that are affected by GATA-1, so the researchers conducted a genome-wide search after adding GATA-1 to the cells ... The team used two independent methods of mapping where the GATA-1 binding sites lay on the DNA, and how far those binding sites were from the responsive genes ... In all, they found 15,360 DNA segments occupied by GATA-1. (EurekAlert!)
How Viruses Destroy Bacteria Nov 20, 2009
"The phages first attach to the bacteria and then inject their DNA," says Sun Qingan, coauthor of the article and a doctoral student at Texas A&M. "Then they reproduce inside the cell cytoplasm.". After more than 100 phage particles have been assembled, the next step is to be released from the bacterial host, so that the progeny virions can find other hosts and repeat the reproduction cycle, Sun adds.

In constructing the haplotype map, the researchers identified several million genetic variations - or polymorphisms - in the DNA sequence among the 27 maize inbred lines, as well as 10-fold to 30-fold variation in the rates at which genes recombine. "Having the complete genome in hand will make it easier to breed new varieties of corn that produce higher yields or are more tolerant to extreme heat, drought, or other conditions," said senior author Richard Wilson, director of Washington...
