Their genomes can be traced back to a small number of key ancestors explains Prof. Ruedi Fries Chair of Animal breeding at TUM.
Findings of interest for human medicineas part of their study the researchers compared the genome of 40 subfertile animals with 8000 breeding bulls with normal fertility levels.
Genetic analysis for healthier animalsscientists have been systematically studying the cattle genome since 2009. Unlike in humans a small number of loci explain a large proportion of characteristics.
Genetic analysis highlights the undesirable characteristics and also the diseases that animals pass on. With this knowledge we can
Scientists at the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGEN) looked at nearly 140 samples taken from 80 brands of beef, chicken, pork and turkey.

and Synthetic Genomics founder J. Craig Venter (the guy behind the first self-replicating synthetic cell),
and freeze'em approach--was primarily a way to preserve the genome heritage of vanishing ecosystems, not the biodiversity itself.
IBM and the U s. Department of agriculture said Wednesday that they are making the cacao genome sequence publicly available.
Data from the cacao genome will be available at the Cacao Genome Database without a patent.
Mars has a vested interest in the cacao genome given that it needs it for chocolate.
The cacao genome project was delivered three years early. In a statement, Mars said:(The project) marks a significant scientific milestone that is already starting to benefit millions of farmers,
and characterize the cocoa genome for peer-reviewed publications
Coke vs. Pepsi: Beverage giants offer water footprint insightsin conjunction with last week's worldwide push to champion sustainable water consumption practices, Pepsico and the Coca-cola Company have published extensive
Decoding the killer blight behind The irish potato faminean international research team has decoded the genome of the notorious blight that caused The irish potato famine in the 1840s.
reveals that the organism's unusually large genome size more than twice that of closely related species
and extraordinary genome structure enable the rapid evolution of genes. That ability helps the pathogen to outsmart its plant hosts.
co-director of the Genome Sequencing and Analysis Program at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, in a statement.
We now have a comprehensive view of its genome, revealing the unusual properties that drive its remarkable adaptability.
The team's findings suggest that different parts of the genome are evolving at different rates.
first decoded the P. infestans genome and compared its sequence to the genomes of two relatives:
P. sojae, which infects soybeans, and P. ramorum, which causes a condition known as sudden oak death.
The researchers found a large amount of repetitive DNA in the massive genome. The findings reveal the pathogen's unusual strategy to support the rapid evolution of critical genes, known as effector genes,
The researchers'next move will be to inject ACR3 into the genome of a flowering plant, thale cress (Arabidopsis),
A team of scientists including researchers from the Energy department's Joint Genome Institute identified Thielavia terrestris
Many cellulases used in biofuel production thrive at temperatures of 20 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees C, according to the DOE's Joint Genome Institute.
the information can be used to improve strains as well as simplify the indentification of other beneficial and harmful mutations, according to the DOE's Joint Genome Institute.

whose genome scientists have decoded just now. Which turns out to have a lot in common with a disease stalking my family (and yours) today, the flu.
Nearly three-quarters of the blight's genome consists of junk DNA, unused sequences that evolve quickly.
The working genome evolves more slowly. Think of it in terms of your own work. If you have a lot of notes for your paper you can edit it quickly,
There are specific mutations in its genome that we associate with an increased ability to grow in mammals.
The candy maker Mars is expected to announce on Wednesday that a project it financed has completed essentially the raw sequence of the genome of the cacao tree,
but cannot discuss it until its paper analyzing the genome is published in a scientific journal.
The rivalry between the two big chocolate companies projects in some ways mirrors what occurred in the race to sequence the human genome, between Celera Genomics and the publicly financed Human genome Project.
and analyze the cocoa genome, in a project involving the Department of agriculture, I b m. and some academic collaborators.

Dr. Guiltinan said there had initially been efforts to do one genome project, but that Mars and the Agriculture department oedecided to go it alone,
but that the genome data was being released now because it was ready. The tree, known officially as Theobroma cacao (meaning oefood of the gods), contains about 420 million DNA units, represented by the letters A c, G and T. That is fairly small for a plant.
The human genome has about three billion units. The Mars group used so-called second generation sequencers made by Illumina and 454, a division of Roche.
but in conjunction with its spinoff firm Life Code LLC, it has provided testing services for the development of nutraceuticals based on its unique genomics platform.
It like getting a remote checkup from your doctor all the time. 2. Genome Specific Cures. A few years ago, the notion of cancer treatment that was specific to a person genome was seen as a fantasy.
But, as geneticist and open-source medicine evangelist Andrew Hessel wrote in the January-February 2010 issue of THE FUTURIST, oethanks to rapidly moving technologies like synthetic biology,
Designing genomes will be a personal thing a new art form, as creative as painting or sculpture.
