A painstaking genomic and proteomic analysis has found a new evolutionary mechanism that accounts for some of the biological complexity of human beings. The Rice University scientists who found the mechanism say it helps humans cope with the consequences of inefficient natural selection. It fosters complexity by enabling human proteins to become more specialized over time. The research is available...

Futuristic speculative questions sometimes become present day practical questions. Have you asked yourself what price you'd be willing to pay to get your genome fully sequenced? Complete Genomics, a start-up based in Mountain View, CA, has again lowered the stick in the financial limbo dance of human genome sequencing, announcing in the journal Science that it has sequenced three human genomes for...

With the newest DNA sequencing technology starting to reach the market, we're seeing a bit of a bifurcation. Some of the methods can do long reads, covering hundreds of bases, and provide data that's appropriate for assembling a genome that's never been sequenced before. Others produce lots of shorter reads, which can only be aligned to a genome that we know the sequence of already. What good is repeating...

Complete Genomics, a third-generation human genome sequencing company, today announced publication of a report in the journal Science describing its proprietary DNA sequencing platform, including analysis of sequence data from three complete human genomes. The consumables cost for these three genomes sequenced on the proof-of-principle genomic DNA nanoarrays ranged from $8,005 for 87x coverage to $1,726...

A major conclusion of the work is that for some organisms, possibly including humans, continued evolution will not translate into ever-increasing fitness. Moreover, a population may accrue mutations at a constant rate ?- a pattern long considered the hallmark of "neutral" or non-Darwinian evolution -? even when the mutations experience Darwinian selection.

It has long been known that the identity of each vertebra is due to the activation of a class of genes called "Hox." Now, in the latest issue of Developmental Cell researchers from the Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciencia, in Portugal, the Institute KNAW and University Medical Center show that besides determining the identity of the vertebrae, Hox genes also have a say in how many are going to...

Our noses give our faces character. It often becomes the object of scrutiny when we look in the mirror and, occasionally, defines us. Nose shape and size is generally decided by genetics and can be influenced by cultural heritage. However, in the melting pot of Los Angeles, the definition of beauty definitely does not include an oversized nose. Here, in the land of movie stars and delicate-featured...
