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.

ATI envisions major wet lab - Austin Business Journal Facility could boost big, small biotech firms Austin Technology Incubator is proposing a $60 million to $80 million wet-laboratory incubator that it said could rapidly accelerate the biotechnology industry in Central Texas. The proposal for such an incubator is the result of a yearlong study, funded partly by the U.S. Economic Development Administration, that identified a lack of wet-lab space in Austin. The ATI report estimates Austin needs to add 60,000 square feet of wet-lab space — space where chemistry can be conducted — during the next five years just to meet the demand from the existing 130 or so biotech companies in Central Texas. ATI, a program under the University of Texas’ IC2 Institute, is using the recent report to bolster its case for a wet-lab incubator. ATI is in early talks with the city, state and other interested parties about its proposal with hopes of funding it through a private-public partnership. ATI said Mueller’s proximity to medical centers and UT make it ideal.

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.
