454 Life Sciences and Max Planck publish sequence of one million base pairs
11-15-2006 · EurekAlert!454 Life Sciences today announced that comparison of the human and chimpanzee genomes to Neandertal DNA sequences determined by 454 Sequencing reveals that modern human and Neandertal DNA sequences diverged on average about 500,000 years ago and the effective size of the ancestral population of the two groups was similar to that of modern humans.

- 454 Life Sciences and Baylor College of Medicine complete sequencing of DNA pioneer
05-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
454 Life Sciences Corporation, in collaboration with scientists at the Human Genome Sequencing Center, Baylor College of Medicine, announced today in Houston, Texas, the completion of a project to sequence the genome of James D. Watson, Ph.D., co-discoverer of the double-helix structure of DNA. The mapping of Dr. Watson's genome was completed using the Genome Sequencer FLX system, and marks the first individual genome to be sequenced for less than $1 million.

- Connection between virus and Colony Collapse Disorder in bees
09-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
A team led by scientists from the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health, Pennsylvania State University, the USDA Agricultural Research Service, University of Arizona, and 454 Life Sciences has found a significant connection between the Israeli Acute Paralysis Virus (IAPV) and Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) in honey bees. The findings, an important step in addressing the disorder that is decimating bee colonies across the country, are published in the journal Science this week.

- Scientists reveal how supermassive black holes bind into pairs during galaxy mergers
06-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
Now, using supercomputers to simulate galaxy mergers, scientists at Stanford and elsewhere have seen the formation of a new type of structure-a central disk of gas that can be from a hundred to a few thousand light years wide and from a few hundred million to a billion solar masses. They report the first simulated formation of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) pair in the June 7 edition of Science Express, an online version of Science magazine.

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.

- Novel mechanism for long-term learning identified by Carnegie Mellon researchers
01-03-2008 · EurekAlert!
Practice makes perfect -- or at least that's what we’re told as we struggle through of multiplication tables and piano scales -- and it seems to be true. That's why neuroscientists have been perplexed by data showing that at the level of individual synapses increased, repetitive stimulation reverses gains in synaptic strength. Neuroscientists from Carnegie Mellon and the Max Planck Institute have discovered the mechanism that resolves this paradox. The findings are published in Science.

- Bee genome information housed at Texas A&M University
10-27-2006 · EurekAlert!
About three years ago, Dr. Christine Elsik -- an expert in genomics in the department of animal science at Texas A&M University -- offered to house the data from the honey bee genome sequencing project at Baylor College of Medicine's Human Genome Sequencing Center. Baylor researchers finished sequencing the genome in March, but the work continues. Elsik's computers house the data from the sequence of the 16 chromosomes and 265 million nucleotides of the honey bee, she said.

- Cold climate produced by algae contributed to onset of multicellular life
02-13-2007 · EurekAlert!
The rise of multicellular animals about 540 million years ago was a turning point in the history of life. A group of Finnish scientists suggests a new climate-biosphere interaction mechanism for the underlying processes in a new study, which will be published on Feb. 14, 2007, in PLoS ONE, the international, peer-reviewed, open-access, online publication from the Public Library of Science.
