Faster detection of bacteria in water, food
...a, just as forensic experts identify suspects from fingerprints found at a crime scene. "Potentially, we can assign each bacterium an identity card," Kashi said. "Only instead of nine digits per identity number, imagine thousands." The technology will allow accurate, systematic comparison of bacteria across the...Philadelphian wins national organic chemistry award

She and her research team have also attached fluorescent "tags" to compounds to track their path within cells and simple organisms. Joullie, who was born in France, said she has been intrigued by science and particularly chemistry f...Technique reduces time spent on radiation doses
...t analysis who has applied the tool on analysis of fingerprints for the FBI, among many other applications. "The speed allows the radiation dose to be controlled more carefully, which will provide less damage to adjacent healthy tissues." To get an accurate estimation of how much radiation should be given durin...Comprehensive gene profiles hold promise for improving outcome of pediatric leukemia

And in the future, these genetic fingerprints might help us identify new targets in leukemic cells that could lead to the development of more effe...Antibiotic resistant bacteria frequently transmitted between intensive care patients
...bacteria from these swabs and analysed the genetic fingerprints of Staphylococcus strains to identify bacteria that were identical or closely related. They could then assess the transmission rates of bacteria between patients, by seeing which patients harboured the same bacterial strains. 17 of the patients were ...Nanotech imaging, molecular fingerprints and signatures hold promise for cancer
...curing the disease. Through analysis of molecular fingerprints or genetic signatures, scientists have devised technology to identify ovarian or prostate cancer. A third technology produces magnetic resonance portraits that define the extent of early metastasis in breast cancer. Researchers described advances in...CNS cancers and other diseases: Using proteomics to identify unique protein 'fingerprints'
