Brett Smith for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online By studying oldfield mice – colloquially known as ‘beach mice’ (Peromyscus polionotus) – as they dug through a mound of dirt in her San Diego garage, biologist Hopi Hoekstra discovered that the diligent rodents construct their burrows in extremely predictable patterns. Working on a hunch that the mice probably inherit this behavior, she and a team of colleagues conducted a genetic analysis of the tiny rodents and found that...
"GMO Inside" Calls on Kellogg's and General Mills to Label GMOs or Cut Them Out Entirely WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- GMO Inside, a coalition dedicated to advancing the right of consumers to know whether or not foods are genetically engineered, today announced that it is shining the light on the nation's largest breakfast cereal companies: Kellogg's and General Mills. GMO Inside is calling on these companies, who claim to be wholesome and healthy, to make a...

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Luminex Corporation (NASDAQ: LMNX) announced today that it has received FDA clearance for its xTAG Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP), the first comprehensive molecular diagnostic assay that tests for greater than 90% of bacterial, viral, and parasitic causes of infectious gastroenteritis in a single assay. The xTAG GPP assay can be an important clinical tool in the management of gastrointestinal infections, and is now available in...
IFIT antiviral protein recognizes foreign RNA and blocks viral infections Researchers at McGill University and the Research Center for Molecular Medicine (CeMM) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences have discovered the molecular blueprint behind the IFIT protein. This key protein enables the human immune system to detect viruses and prevent infection by acting as foot soldiers guarding the body against infection. They recognize foreign viral ribonucleic acid (RNA) produced by the virus and...
redOrbit Staff & Wire Reports – Your Universe Online Researchers at the University of Manchester have developed a machine that can effectively mimic the process by which the ribosome translates genetic code to build protein in the cells of our bodies. The nanomachine, which is only a few millionths of a millimeter long, was constructed by professor David Leigh of the university’s School of Chemistry, and in a statement, the institute called it “the most advanced molecular...
When Charles Darwin first sketched how species evolved by natural selection, he drew what looked like a tree. The diagram started at a central point with a common ancestor, then the lines spread apart as organisms evolved and separated into distinct species. In the 175 years since, scientists have come to agree that Darwin’s original drawing is a bit simplistic, given that multiple species mix and interbreed in ways he didn’t consider possible (though you can’t fault the guy for not...

The activity of any living cell, and by extension life itself, depends on protein synthesis and the transcription of DNA. If proteins are the machinery of cellular function, then DNA are the machine assembly lines – responsible for accurately and efficiently ‘transcribing’ protein messengers, structures and enzymes. DNA transcription begins in the nucleus of a cell when an enzyme called RNA polymerase binds to the DNA strand. Sequences within the DNA direct the polymerase to...
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, a highly technical field like genetic engineering can be a beacon of stability and growth in today’s slumping job market. Genetic engineers, or biomedical engineers, are expected to see their career prospects grow as new technological advances drive an ever greater demand for individuals to specialize in this field. The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) says that a position as a genetic engineer typically requires at least a...
Cell is a peer-reviewed scientific journal founded by Benjamin Lewin in January 1974 with the sponsorship of MIT Press. Lewin bought the rights to the journal in 1986 and published it under his own publishing arm Cell Press. Cell Press was sold to Elsevier in 1999, which currently publishes Cell twice monthly. Cell Press publishes several biomedical journals, including Cell, Neuron, Immunity, Molecular Cell, Developmental Cell, Cancer Cell, Current Biology, Structure, Chemistry &...
