| GM food solutions at risk from lobbyists, experts say Posted: 23 Sep 2011 04:47 PM PDT Powerful lobby groups opposed to genetically modified (GM) food are threatening public acceptance of the technology in Europe, research suggests.  |
| All-access genome: New study explores packaging of DNA Posted: 23 Sep 2011 07:25 AM PDT A team of biophysicists has been preoccupied with tiny, spool-like entities known as nucleosomes. Their latest insights help explain how these structures wrap and unwrap, permitting regulatory proteins to access, bind with and act on regions of DNA.  |
| DNA sequences reveal the true identity of the softshell turtle Pelodiscus Posted: 23 Sep 2011 07:22 AM PDT A research team has identified many different genetic lineages in the softshell turtle genus Pelodiscus, representing different species. Traditionally it has been assumed that only the species Pelodiscus sinensis belonged to the genus examined. As a foodstuff, Chinese softshell turtles are the most economically important turtles in the world, with an annual trade volume of many hundreds of millions of specimens.  |
| Targeting HIV's sugar coating: New microbicide may block AIDS virus from infecting cells Posted: 23 Sep 2011 06:58 AM PDT Researchers have discovered a new class of compounds that stick to the sugary coating of the AIDS virus and inhibit it from infecting cells -- an early step toward a new treatment to prevent sexual transmission of the virus.  |
