- 5From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7333) Peer-ReviewedThere has been much progress in genomics in the ten years since a draft sequence of the human genome was published. Opportunities for understanding health and disease are now unprecedented, as advances in genomics are...
- 6From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7333) Peer-ReviewedGeorge Poste calls for the creation of international biobanks as part of research efforts on disease and drug-response biomarkers (Nature 469, 156-157; 2011). As the director of Israel's biobank and a member of...
- 7From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7333) Peer-ReviewedAttempts to 'top kill' last year's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico by ramming mud down the well may have failed because of the unsuitable properties of the drilling mud used. Using coloured water and mineral oil,...
- 8From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7333) Peer-ReviewedMany cell-cycle regulators are targeted for degradation by being tagged with chains of the small protein ubiquitin. Ubiquitin ligase enzymes mediate the selection of target proteins. One of the most complex ubiquitin...
- 9From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7333) Peer-ReviewedWhen a draft of the human genome was announced in 2000, funders, governments, industry and researchers made grand promises about how genome-based discoveries would revolutionize science. They promised that it would...
- 10From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7333) Peer-ReviewedElectrical stimulation of certain hypothalamic regions in cats and rodents can elicit attack behaviour, but the exact location of relevant cells within these regions, their requirement for naturally occurring aggression...
- 11From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7333) Peer-ReviewedThe Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) project began in the late 1990s with a dual aim: to do research while building scientific ties in the troubled region. the plan...
- 12From: Nature. (Vol. 470, Issue 7333) Peer-ReviewedA case of scientific misconduct at the Research Center Borstel in Germany is assuming alarming proportions. The centre, which launched an investigation last July, said last week that retractions are under way of 6...
