Top 7 in Molecular Biology A snapshot of the most highly ranked articles in molecular biology and related areas, from Faculty of 1000 1. Lighting up RNA A novel technique for tagging and following RNA processes in live cells promises to illuminate RNA biology the way green fluorescent protein (GFP) did for the study of proteins. The tagging method consists of short RNA sequences that bind to GFP-like fluorophores and produce a wide range of colors. These RNA-fluorophore complexes can then be fused to RNAs in the cell. J.S. 2. Though large swaths of non-coding RNAs exist in mammals, no one had clearly explained their role. M. 3. Budding yeast is one of the few species that lack RNA interference, a process in which small RNA molecules affect gene expression and is essential for most eukaryotic species. I.A. 4. Chromosome segregation during meiosis and mitosis must be tightly regulated to keep in time with the cell cycle. J. 5. M. 6. J. 7. U.

First monkeys with customized mutations born Niu et al., Cell Twin cynomolgus monkeys born in China are the first with mutations in specific target genes. The ultimate potential of precision gene-editing techniques is beginning to be realised. Xingxu Huang, a geneticist at the Model Animal Research Center of Nanjing University in China, and his colleagues successfully engineered twin cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) with two targeted mutations using the CRISPR/Cas9 system — a technology that has taken the field of genetic engineering by storm in the past year. "This is an important step," says Feng Zhang, a synthetic biologist who was not involved in the study, but who has helped to develop CRISPR technology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. Primate push Transgenic mice have long dominated as models for human diseases, in part because scientists have honed a gene-editing method for the animals that uses homologous recombination — rare, spontaneous DNA-swapping events — to introduce mutations.

Researchers uncovered the pulses of external signaling factors that push resting cells to divide. Y. 2. Just before cells divide, chromosomes must duplicate and separate in a coordinated dance. L. 3. While many tissue types stop growing when nutrients are scarce, Drosophila brain tissue continues to grow, even when starved for food. L. Drosophila 4. Researchers showed that the septin cytoskeleton, a network of filamentous proteins, plays a critical role in directing microtubules reorganization. J. 5. In budding yeast, it was known that the kinetochores—the spots on chromosomes where spindle fibers separate chromosomes during cell division—rely on methylation of a protein called DAM1. J. 6. J. 7.

Craig Venter Early life and education[edit] Venter was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, the son of Elizabeth and John Venter.[6] In his youth, he did not take his education seriously, preferring to spend his time on the water in boats or surfing.[7] According to his biography, A Life Decoded, he was said to never be a terribly engaged student, having Cs and Ds on his eighth-grade report cards.[8] He graduated from Mills High School in Millbrae, California. Although he was against the Vietnam War,[9] Venter was drafted and enlisted in the United States Navy where he worked in the intensive-care ward of a field hospital.[10] While in Vietnam, he attempted suicide by swimming out to sea, but changed his mind more than a mile out.[11] Being confronted with wounded, maimed, and dying soldiers on a daily basis instilled in him a desire to study medicine[12] — although he later switched to biomedical research. Venter began his college career at a community college, College of San Mateo in California.

world of biodiversity | Scientific collections | DNA-BANK The DNA Bank of Senckenberg and BiK-F Molecular data, particularly DNA sequences, are increasingly important for biosystematics, ecology and nature conservation. DNA sequences and fingerprints is routinely generated by many research groups because some of the most interesting questions about the evolution of life or the interactions between organisms in ecosystems cannot be answered without such data. The Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum (SGN) houses millions of collections that form a huge archive for basic research in this field. At room temperature, DNA slowly degrades. For most of the DNA samples voucher specimens are stored in the collections of the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum. Please send enquiries or suggestions regarding the DNA can to dnabank@senckenberg.de or write to:
