1. 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.

2. Scientists sequence genome of parasite responsible for common sexually transmitted infection
   01-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers have decoded the genetic makeup of the parasite that causes trichomoniasis, one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs), revealing potential clues as to why the parasite has become increasingly drug resistant and suggesting possible pathways for new treatments, diagnostics and a potential vaccine strategy. The genome sequencing project, funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is detailed in the January 12 issue of Science.
