Complete Neandertal Mitochondrial Genome Sequenced From 38,000-Year-Old Bone

Analysis of the new sequence confirms that the mitochondria of Neandertal's falls outside the variation found in humans today, offering no evidence of admixture between the two lineages although it remains a possibility. It also shows that the last common ancestor of Neandertals and humans lived about 660,000 years ago, give or take 140,000 years.

Complete Neandertal mitochondrial genome sequenced from 38,000-year-old bone

A study reported in the August 8th issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication, reveals the complete mitochondrial genome of a 38,000-year-old Neandertal. The findings open a window into the Neandertals' past and helps answer lingering questions about our relationship to them.

Cocoa Genome To Be Sequenced: May Benefit Millions Of Farmers, Help Sustain World's Chocolate Supply

The United States Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS), Mars, Incorporated, and IBM intend to apply their scientific resources to sequence and analyze the entire cocoa genome. Sequencing the cocoa genome is a significant scientific step that may allow more directed breeding of cocoa plants and perhaps even enhance the quality of cocoa, the key ingredient in chocolate.

Plant-parasitic Nematode Genome Sequenced

There are numerous plant-parasitic nematodes in the world, but only a handful are responsible for the largest part of an estimated $157 billion in agricultural damage globally every year. Nematodes are small worms that burrow into plant roots and feed off living cells.

No Neanderthal In You, Says Ancient DNA

NeanderthalScientists who sequenced the mitochondrial DNA of a 38,000-year-old Neanderthal returned no evidence of ancestral interbreeding with our long-lost cousins.

DNA Technology Posts Dramatic Speed Increases

A prominent genetics institute recently sequenced its trillionth base pair of DNA, highlighting just how fast genome sequencing technology has improved this century.

Biology Enters 'The Matrix' Through New Computer Language

Ever since the human genome was sequenced less than 10 years ago, researchers have been able to access a dizzying plethora of genomic information with a simple click of a mouse. This digitizing of genomic data--and its public access--is something that would have been unthinkable a generation earlier.

Fifteen human genomes each week: The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Hits 1 Terabase

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute has sequenced the equivalent of 300 human genomes in just over six months. The Institute has just reached the staggering total of 1,000,000,000,000 letters of genetic code that will be read by researchers worldwide, helping them to understand the role of genes in health and disease. Scientists will be able to answer questions unthinkable even a few years ago and human medical genetics will be transformed.

Scientists map mitochondrial DNA of prehistoric Neanderthal

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Researchers announced Thursday that they have sequenced the mitochondrial DNA of a Neanderthal, using genetic material recovered from a 38,000-year-old bone.

U of M scientists map genome sequence of pathogen causing persistent small-grain disease

Scientists led by a team from the University of Minnesota have sequenced the genome of the fungal pathogen that causes the deadly grain disease fusarium head blight. Their findings will be published in the Sept. 7 issue of Science.

Richard Garriott Wants to Make You Immortal

NCsoft today announced that it will be initiating "Operation Immortality." This program will provide Tabula Rasa players in the U.S. the opportunity to have their DNA sequenced, digitized and sent into space in a time capsule called the Immortality Drive, which will accompany Richard Garriott to the International Space Station in October 2008. Additionally, active retail accounts of Tabula Rasa on September 2, 2008 will have their characters uploaded to the device for the space trip.

Secret DNA

About a tenth of the human genome "remains impossible to sequence with existing methods", Anna Gosline writes (5 July, p 36). I thought the whole thing had been sequenced; this is the first I've heard of this.

American Gladiator Matt Morgan to Send DNA to Space

(Prudent Press Agency)---AUSTIN, Texas--Matt Morgan, known as “Beast” on television’s American Gladiators and a professional wrestling star for Total Nonstop Action (TNA) Wrestling, has signed on to have his DNA sequenced and digitized and sent to the International Space Station (ISS) with gaming legend Richard Garriott in October. Garriott will take DNA samples from select individuals on the “Immortality Drive,” a storage device that he’ll leave on the ISS as part of NCsoft’s® Operation Immortality™ and Garriott’s latest game, Tabula Rasa®.
