Something new under the Sun
01-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
That plants grow better if grown in a greenhouse in the correct climate is nothing new. Dutch researcher Rachel van Ooteghem has designed a control system for an improved solar greenhouse that yields more. In the new greenhouse, good climate control with sustainable energy resulted not only in an increased crop yield but also a lower gas bill.

Soft tissue taken from Tyrannosaurus rex fossil yields original protein
04-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Dr. Mary Schweitzer, a North Carolina State University researcher, and colleagues at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center have confirmed the existence of protein in soft tissue recovered from the bone of a 68 million-year-old T. rex. Their results may both change the way that people think about fossil preservation and present a new method for studying diseases such as cancer.

Researchers 'look into' plant cells to increase ethanol yields
04-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
Tiny pores within plant cells may hold promise for green fuels. Purdue University researchers have discovered that particles from cornstalks undergo previously unknown structural changes when processed to produce ethanol, an insight they said will help establish a viable method for large-scale production of ethanol from plant matter.

Positioning pelvic cancer patients on stomachs for radiation yields better results
10-28-2007 · EurekAlert!
Oregon Health & Science University Cancer Institute researchers have found that positioning pelvic cancer patients on their stomachs rather than their backs is a better method for delivering radiation therapy. Because patients return for multiple therapies, being able to reproduce the positioning of the patient allowed more precision, which reduces toxicity. "It was a surprising finding," according to according to Martin Fuss, M.D., the director of the Program in Image-Guided Radiation Therapy, OHSU Radiation Medicine.

454 Sequencing™ reveals new pathway in RNA interference
10-25-2006 · EurekAlert!
454 Life Sciences today announced that research on small RNAs, conducted by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, has revealed the dual role of the ARGONAUTE 4 protein (AGO4) in RNA-directed DNA methylation. The research, which describes a method for obtaining a comprehensive view of the total small RNAs from a single sample, was published today in Nature.

Microarray sequence capture speeds large-scale resequencing of targeted genomic regions
10-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and Roche NimbleGen Inc. today have published details of a highly efficient and cost-effective method for capturing targeted regions of the genome via NimbleChip microarrays in preparation for high-throughput 454 Sequencing. The technology, called 'sequence capture,' enables fast and accurate enrichment of thousands of selected genomic regions, either contiguous or dispersed, such as segments of chromosomes or all genes or exons. The study appears online in the journal Nature Methods.

Rounding up gases, nano-style
02-01-2008 · EurekAlert!
A new process for catching gas from the environment and holding it indefinitely in molecular-sized containers has been developed by a team of University of Calgary researchers, who say it represents a novel method of gas storage that could yield benefits for capturing, storing and transporting gases more safely and efficiently. Paper published in current advanced online edition of Nature Materials.

Neanderthal genome sequencing yields surprising results and opens a new door to future studies
11-15-2006 · EurekAlert!
The veil of mystery surrounding our extinct hominid cousins, the Neanderthals, has been at least partially lifted to reveal surprising results. Scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) have sequenced genomic DNA from fossilized Neanderthal bones.
