Professor analyzes nuclear receptors in bee genome

Susan Fahrbach, a Wake Forest University biologist, is among the more than 170 researchers who helped decode the honey bee genome. She contributed to the article on the bee genome sequence that appears in the October 26 issue of Nature. Her piece of the puzzle -- analyzing the nuclear hormone receptors found in the bee genome -- also appears in the current issue of Insect Molecular Biology.

1. McBride shows DNA detective work with paper-eating bacteria that 'glide'
   01-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A professor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has been helping the Department of Energy analyze the genome of a "paper-eating" bacterium that could have uses in producing ethanol, but also shed light on how "gliding" bacteria move. The two functions could be related.

2. Cellulose nanocrystal research could lead to new vaccines, computer inks
   03-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A wood scientist is attaching antibodies to the surface of cellulose crystals. This design enables the nanocrystals to block cell receptors in the body. The process may eventually be used to create vaccines. Through the same receptor-blocking method, this process can combat the effects of some diseases involving inflammation of blood vessels, including diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis and certain cancers.

4. Carnegie Mellon scientist plays key role in unveiling sea urchin genome
   11-09-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Carnegie Mellon University has played a key role in an international, multi-institutional collaboration to sequence the sea urchin genome. As part of the consortium, Charles Ettensohn, professor of biological sciences, led the team that cataloged the genes responsible for building the sea urchin's embryonic skeleton. He also contributed 51,000 cDNAs -- about one-third of the total genomic material critical for assembling the genome and for accurately predicting where genes lie within the DNA sequence.

   UCSD computer scientists have designed a system that automatically analyzes the behavior of all the WiFi connections in the UCSD computer science building. "In the end, we can say 'it's because of this that your wireless is slow or has stopped working' -- and we can tell you immediately," said computer science professor Stefan Savage, a senior author on the paper presented last week in Kyoto, Japan, at ACM SIGCOMM, the premier computer networking conference.

10. LSU professor involved in genome sequencing of the first marsupial
    05-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Since the launch of the Human Genome Project, which released a first draft of the entire sequence of human DNA in 2001, many researchers have dedicated themselves to creating a library of comprehensive, species-specific genetic sequence "maps" available for study. Scientists at LSU recently took part in a multi-institutional effort spearheaded by the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard University to sequence the complete genome of the gray, short-tailed opossum, Monodelphis domestica.
