Prenatal DNA Sequencing

Earlier this year Illumina, the maker of the worlds most widely used DNA sequencing machines, agreed to pay nearly half a billion dollars for Verinata, a startup in Redwood City, California, that has hardly any revenues. What Verinata does have is technology that can do something as ethically fraught as it is inevitable: sequence the DNA of a human fetus before birth. Continue reading

Insights into a Virus Proteome – Max Planck Scientists Identify Unknown Proteins of the Herpesviru

23.11.2012 – (idw) Max-Planck-Institut fr Biochemie The genome encodes the complete information needed by an organism, including that required for protein production. Viruses, which are up to a thousand times smaller than human cells, have considerably smaller genomes. Using a type of herpesvirus as a model system, the scientists of the Max Planck Institute (MPI) of Biochemistry in Martinsried near Munich and their collaboration partners at the University of California in San Francisco have shown that the genome of this virus contains much more information than previously assumed.
