SARS Pathogen Detection Resequencing Array
A new array that resequences the entire 29,700 base pairs in the SARS virus is designed to enable scientists to rapidly re-sequence different isolates of the virus to better understand variations associated with the spread of the virus and increased virulence. More...13 May 2003
DNA Polymerase Promotes Tuberculosis Drug Resistance
Researchers have found that possessing multiple copies of the DNA-repair enzyme DNA polymerase (DnaE) gives Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) a survival advantage by inducing mutations in the population of organisms that resist initial antibiotic treatment and encouraging the rise of drug-resistant mutants.

Crystal Analysis Reveals Transcription Factor Binding Structure
A recent study on the myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF2) family of transcription factors describes the crystal structure of the MADS-box/MEF2S domain of human MEF2B bound to a motif of the transcriptional co-repressor Cabin1 and DNA at a resolution of 2.2 angstroms. More...13 May 2003
Parthenogenesis a Promising Source of Embryonic Stem Cells
Researchers are experimenting with parthogenesis as a way to produce embryonic stem cells that could never become human beings and thereby avert the ethical concerns that have led to restrictions on embryonic stem cell research. More...07 May 2003
