320000 viruses in mammals yet to sequenced in future!!!
With current biological technique improvements, finally it is now possible to look at millions of unknown viruses at genomic level and understand the mechanism. According to available data, close to 70 per cent of emerging viral diseases such as HIV/AIDS, West Nile, Ebola, SARS, and influenza, ar...Tags: Sequencing, RNA, DNA, Genome, Virus, Mammals, flying fox, HIV

The Story of You: ENCODE and the human genome
Ever since a monk called Mendel started breeding pea plants we've been learning about our genomes. In 1953, Watson, Crick and Franklin described the structure of the molecule that makes up our genomes: the DNA double helix. Then, in 2001, scientists wrote down the entire 3-billion letter code con...Tags: ENCODE, Genome, Non-coding DNA, DNA, Animation

Tools to detect synteny blocks regions among multiple genomes
The synteny block (which etymologically means “on the same ribbon”) is a collection of contiguous genes located on the same chromosome. These block regions have mostly been preserved by genome rearrangements, and so synteny blocks from two related species (e.g., humans and mice) will ...Tags: Synteny, Genome, GWAS, Conserve Synteny, Synteny Blocks, Comparative Genomes, Syntenic Regions

Genome + Epigenome = New Understanding of the Pathogens in Your Food
UC Davis's Bart Weimer describes foodborne pathogens and their proclivity for rapid genome rearrangement. The 100K Pathogen Genome Project he leads is using PacBio long-read sequencing to close genomes and analyze methylation; Weimer reports that his team has already discovered new epigenetic mod...Tags: Genome, Epigenome
