Blue crabs in downtown Dover and salty water nears Poughkeepsie The drought of 1999 is causing more than frustration for farmers and homeowners in the eastern half of the country. Without fresh water to rinse out rivers and streams, salt water is creeping further up river in many areas. And that ...CWRU med school snares $3 million Howard Hughes Institute grant to build structural biology program
...CWRU. As the Human Genome Project's initial phase nears completion and provides a map of all human genes, structural biologists will work to unravel the steps that occur on a molecular level that lead from genes to proteins, to cells, to organisms and disease. Their work will have broad applications in di......e high-profile effort to decipher the human genome nears completion, scientists nationwide are launching another ambitious project -- this time to learn how variations in genes affect people's responses to drugs. Differences of a single "letter" among many thousands in the DNA instructions of a gene are th...Chemists report new approach to synthetic fragments of medically important Heparin

...en harm, someone else. As the Human Genome Project nears completion, pharmacogenetics is getting a lot of attention, because it could make it possible for physicians to prescribe safer and more effective drugs and therapies tailored to each patient's unique genetic code.

... This percentage continues to grow as the project nears completion. Since Monsanto's genome sequencing data was made available nearly two years ago, there has been an enormous increase in the amount of sequence data being deposited in public databases, said Ben Burr, co-lead of the IRGSP. The result is a...
