- New gene may offer clues to infertility in both cows and women
10-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
A newly identified gene that controls embryo development in cows may someday offer clues into the cause of infertility in women. A team of researchers from Michigan State University led by George Smith, associate professor of animal science, has discovered that the new egg-specific gene, JY-1, is necessary for embryonic development in dairy cows. The research is reported in the Oct. 29 online issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

- Third primate genome, the rhesus macaque, helps illuminate what makes us human
04-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have sequenced the genome of the relatively ancient rhesus macaque (Macaca mulatta), providing perspective into how humans are genetically different from our primate relatives. In addition to benefiting human health research in areas as diverse as HIV and aging, the genome enhances understanding of primate evolution. The macaque genome research appears in the April 13 issue of Science published by AAAS, the nonprofit science society.

- Money: It's more than an incentive according to University of Minnesota researcher
11-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
Why are some people more self-sufficient than others? Why are some people more willing to volunteer or help out than others?

Research conducted by Kathleen Vohs, assistant professor of marketing at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota, demonstrates that money -- more specifically, people's exposure to the concept of money -- can start to answer these questions. The research is published in the November 17 issue of Science.
