Is the last pure genomics company from the 1990s about to go bust? ExxonMobil invests $300 million in Synthetic Genomics to develop algae biofuel. Off-the-Shelf Genetic Testing On Display The emerging market of direct-to-consumer genetic testing gets down to business. Brewing with Synthetic Biology A new approach offers a more efficient way to design biological "circuits." Ken Offit aims to find out why some women escape the disease. A Genetic Test for Heart Disease and Cancer Risk Unfortunately, questions remain over its clinical utility. New techniques could finally make a $1,000 genome possible. A new initiative will work on cell-based toxicity tests for chemicals. Putting bat DNA into mice sheds light on how limbs evolved. Stem cells from skin, myriad microbes, and a $350,000 personal genome. Calculating Drugs' Side Effects A new computational technique could predict the toxicity of drug candidates. Why can bats fly when mice can't? Not resting on his laureate, new Nobel Prize winner Mario Capecchi is striving to answer that question. The genomic pioneer bares his genetic code to the world. A microfluidic chip lets researchers identify elusive human-dwelling microbes. |
