7. Researchers first to map gene that regulates adult stem cell growth
   01-14-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new discovery in stem cell research may mean big things for cancer patients in the future. After being the first to genetically map and identify a gene that regulates adult stem cells, the researchers investigated the gene's protein product, Latexin, which can be used to ramp up the body's stem cell count. The team's findings are being published in Nature Genetics.

8. Genetic map offers new tool for malaria research
   12-10-2006 · EurekAlert!
   An international research team has created a genome-wide map that charts the genetic variability of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. The study reveals striking variation within the pathogen's genome, and lays the foundation for dissecting the functions of important parasite genes and for tracing the global spread of malaria. Already, the tool has helped to unearth novel genes that may underlie resistance to current drugs against malaria.
