FAIRFIELD, Ohio, April 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- "Hello Truth" has meaning for Robert McClendon, DDC's (DNA Diagnostics Center) first Innocence Network exoneree who was freed through forensic DNA testing in 2008. Even more so after the April 10, 2011, DDC Forensics unveiling of DDC's newly named DNA analyzer, "Hello Truth," in honor of McClendon and his poem by the same name. Just prior to the surprise unveiling, McClendon recounted his first-person story to the many...
2 interlocking rings of DNA are only visible through the scanning force microscopeCreating artificial structures from DNA is the objective of DNA nanotechnology. This new discipline, which combines biology, physics, chemistry and material science makes use of the ability of the natural DNA-strains' capacity for self assembly. Smileys or small boxes, measuring only 10s of nanometers (10 one-billionths of a meter) were created from DNA in a drop of water. Prof Alexander Heckel and his doctoral...
ORLANDO, Fla., March 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- GeneWize Life Sciences, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of GeneLink, Inc. (OTCQB: GNLK), has announced the world's first full-line of skin care products customized to an individual's DNA and the first gene-modulating weight management supplement to complement their revolutionary DNA customized nutritional supplement. Starting on March 12, GeneWize distributors were able to provide their customers a DNA personalized skin care system with six...
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the University of California at Berkeley have learned to control the quantum pathways determining how light scatters in graphene. Controlled scattering provides a new tool for the study of this unique material "“ graphene is a single sheet of carbon just one atom thick "“ and may point to practical applications for controlling light and electronic states in graphene nanodevices.The...
DNA Genotek files a 510(k) pre market submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Agency on a new family of products for the molecular diagnostics industry. Ottawa, ON (Vocus/PRWEB) March 15, 2011 DNA Genotek Inc. a leading provider of products for biological sample collection, stabilization and preparation, announced today that it has completed filing a 510(k) pre market submission to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for its Oragene®"¢Dx family of products. Oragene products are...
Scientists have published results that will forever change the way researchers view the interplay between gene expression, DNA replication and the prevention of DNA damage.DNA damage, if not kept in check, can lead to many problems including cancers. Researchers, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Wellcome Trust and working at The University of Nottingham, have shown that the process of replication is even riskier than originally thought. This...
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Biomatrica, Inc., a leader in room temperature biostability technology, today announced a strategic partnership agreement with In-Q-Tel (IQT). IQT is the independent, strategic investment firm that identifies innovative technology solutions to support the mission of the U.S. Intelligence Community. Biomatrica has developed SampleMatrix® technology which has pioneered recent innovations in ambient storage of biological samples from purified DNA,...
Certification program to accelerate world-wide DNA testing FORT WORTH, Texas, Feb. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Center for Human Identification at the UNT Health Science Center recently received a three-year $3.5 million grant from Life Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ: LIFE), a leader in forensic DNA testing systems, to train researchers from around the world in forensic DNA analysis techniques. This first of its kind accelerated academic certification program will train...
Neutron scattering analysis of two families of iron-based materials suggests that the magnetic interactions thought responsible for high-temperature superconductivity may lie "two doors down": The key magnetic exchange pairings occur in a next-nearest-neighbor ordering of atoms, rather than adjacent atoms.Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the University of Tennessee, using the Spallation Neutron Source's ARCS Wide Angular Range Chopper...
Duke University bioengineers have developed a new method for rapidly producing an almost unlimited variety of man-made DNA sequences.These novel sequences of recombinant DNA are used to produce repetitive proteins to create new types of drugs and bioengineered tissues. Current methods for producing these DNA sequences are slow or not robust, the researchers said, which has hindered the development of these increasingly important new classes of protein-based polymers.Researchers have already...

Sky -- Although almost everyone have seen it, sky is hard to be defined precisely. Generally, sky is the space seen when one looks upward from the surface of a planet. Some people define sky as the denser gaseous zone of a planet's atmosphere. Clouds, rainbows and weather all occur amongst a planet's sky. In astronomy, the sky is divided into many regions, called constellations. The blue colour of the daytime sky results from the selective scattering of light rays. When the sunlight...
