Sequencing Of The Oyster Mushroom Genome
A professor is leading an international project to sequence the genome of the oyster mushroom.

Speeding discovery of the 'human cancer genome'
Two gene discoveries announced in separate reports highlight one way to speed through the human genome in search of those genes most important for spawning cancer.

Sequencing the genome of a new kind of methane producer
Max Planck researchers from Marburg and Berlin investigated the complete genome sequence of an RC-I archaeon that appears frequently in the mixed culture MRE50.

Completed genome set to transform the cow

Genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics of human heart failure
In this review we outline our plans for achieving a comprehensive analysis of the molecular defects present in end-stage failing human hearts.

Farm animal genomics and informatics: an update
In this paper, the authors provide an informatics primer on farm animal bioinformatics and genome project resources which drive attention to the most recent advances in the field.

NHGRI announces latest sequencing targets
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), today announced several new sequencing targets including the Northern white-cheeked gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys)...

Genome sequencing is for ecologists, too
An organism widely used for genetics-versus-environment studies has joined the panoply of mice, rats, dogs, humans and other species whose entire genomes have been sequenced.

Dog genome sequenced
Man's best friend may soon offer humans more than loyal companionship. Dogs could help scientists "sniff out" diseases such as cancer that afflict both humans and canines.

Gut reaction: Researchers define the colon's genome
For the first time, scientists have defined the collective genome of the human gut, or colon.

Chromosome rearrangements not as random as believed
A report in the Feb. 17 issue of Science by genetics researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania analyzes genetic predisposition to the translocation t(11;22), a swapping of genetic material between chromosome

Patterns in genome organization may partially explain how microbial cells work
The high degree of organization of prokaryotic genomes is a complete surprise. This finding carried many implications that biologists might not have considered before.
