Genetically identical cells may be far more different than previously believed. Published this week in linkurl:Science,;http://www.sciencemag.org/ researchers find striking variation in levels of gene expression among individual, genetically identical E. coli, seemingly the result of simple chance. "The paper is quite rich," said linkurl:Sanjay Tyagi,;http://www.phri.org/research/res_pityagi.asp a molecular biologist at New Jersey Medical School who was not involved in the research. "People thi

Targeted Comparative Sequencing Illuminates Vertebrate Evolution

Image: Courtesy of Elliott Marguiles  PIPS ON PARADE: Researchers used a MultiPipMaker to show the alignments, expressed as percent identity plots, between a human reference sequence and several other species. This is a 20 kb region surrounding exon 2 of the MET gene. Gap-free alignable segments are represented as horizontal lines along the human reference sequence; the line's height represents the identity of that alignment. Aristotle envisioned humanity as the pinnacle of a "Great Chai
