Amidst genome data, a practical tool for researchers
...serve abnormal band patterns and other microscopic aberrations in a patients chromosomes. In addition, laboratory tools such as fluorescent tags may detect a translocation, an abnormal exchange of DNA between chromosomes. However, understanding the molecular details of many diseases has not kept pace with the di...Mammalian telomere maintenance

...e cell cycle is controlled in nature. Failures or aberrations in the control of the cell cycle lie behind cancer and a number of other diseases. The race is on to develop custom-made drugs to compensate for the failures in the natural control mechanisms. Says Professor La Thangue: "The research teams working on...Coming Extinction Of One Of UK's Most Minuscule Plants Yields Information On Climate Change
...plant the researchers will be able to determine if aberrations in weather are becoming part of a longer term pattern. If climate change is occurring and these weather patterns become more long term it seems likely that the Iceland Purslane could become extinct in Britain. The loss of such an insignificant lit...
