Models begin to unravel how single DNA strands combine

MADISON -- Using computer simulations, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers has identified some of the pathways through which single complementary strands of DNA interact and combine to form the double helix.

New type of genetic change identified in inherited cancer

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University Medical Center and National Cancer Institute scientists have discovered that a novel genetic alteration -- a second copy of an entire gene -- is a cause of familial chordoma, an uncommon form of cancer arising in bones and frequently affecting the nervous system.

Scientists identify genetic cause of previously undefined primary immune deficiency disease

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have identified a genetic mutation that accounts for a perplexing condition found in people with an inherited immunodeficiency.

THERE ARE CYNICS who see only catastrophic answers to Earth’s population explosion: War and pestilence come to mind.

Then there are those who look a little deeper. Not even two feet deep, to be precise, into the placid tidal pools dotting the world’s coastlines. Like homesteads nibbling at the wilderness, coastal flats represent humanity’s creeping advance into the great, undomesticated Blue.
