On the Fast Track in Functional Proteomics
A. J. S. Rayl | Apr 1, 2001 | 8 min read
Graphic: Leza Berardone Researchers in Canada and Denmark are employing mass spectrometry, three-dimensional tissue biology, and supercomputing to blaze a trail in functional proteomics research. In the process, they're putting their company, MDS Proteomics Inc., on the fast track in the latest race to develop new drug targets and eventually better treatments for all kinds of diseases. By using this combination of technologies, MDS Proteomics is accelerating the process of identifying, analyzin
$1,000 Genome at Last?

Illumina says its newest sequencing system can churn out whole human genomes for $1,000 apiece.
The Alpha Project
Steve Bunk | Feb 23, 2003 | 7 min read
One day, genomic data will be translated into language that can be used to find new diagnostic and therapeutic targets for disease. Computers will mine DNA codes to build nanomachines, and "smart fabrics" will contain sensing capabilities modeled on living things. So says Shankar Shastry, chairman of electrical engineering and computer sciences at the University of California at Berkeley. "Bio is my bet on where the new set of glamour technologies will be," he predicts. But even the small step
A Flood in Genomics
Brendan Maher | Nov 25, 2001 | 9 min read
Nine months have passed since draft sequences of the human genome were first published.1,2 One human gestation period later, the genome, as deciphered by the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, still screams toward its projected Spring 2003 finish date. "The trajectory we're on for meeting that goal is precisely on target," assures Francis Collins, director, National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and spokesperson for the largest public biological science project in histor
Accelerating X-ray Crystallography
Kelli Miller | Jan 12, 2003 | 8 min read
Courtesy of Astex Technology For years, the process of X-ray crystallography has moved at a tortoise's pace. "When I started in the field, it would typically take 20 person-years to produce a complete atomic model of one single protein. It was like a traffic jam in New York City. Every single part of the process was slow," says Stephen Burley, chief scientific officer and senior vice president of research at San Diego-based Structural GenomiX. The biggest holdup: obtaining a suitable crystal.
New Internet Capabilities Fueling Innovative Science
