(PhysOrg.com) -- A web browser that can understand technical terms in life sciences and automatically find additional resources and services has been developed by European researchers. It could lead to a new generation of intelligent search engines. http://www.physorg.com/news162052295.html Technology Wed, 20 May 2009 15:32:22 EST news162052295 (PhysOrg.com) -- In On The Origin of Species, Darwin used the image of a tree of life to illustrate how species evolve, one from another. Even today, branches sprouting from lower branches (representing ancestors) is how many people view the evolution of species. http://www.physorg.com/news152274071.html Biology Tue, 27 Jan 2009 10:21:49 EST news152274071 Cincinnati scientists have identified a new biomarker that could help predict a person's risk of developing colon cancer and how aggressive it may become. http://www.physorg.com/news151320742.html Medicine & Health Fri, 16 Jan 2009 09:32:22 EST news151320742 All the genes that the exotic Tasmanian Tiger inherited only from its mother will be revealed by an international team of scientists in a research paper to be published on 13 January 2009 in the online edition of Genome Research. The research marks the first successful sequencing of genes from this carnivorous marsupial, which looked like a large tiger-striped dog and became extinct in 1936. The research also opens the door to the widespread, nondestructive use of museum specimens to learn why mammals become extinct and how extinctions might be prevented. http://www.physorg.com/news151002115.html Biology Mon, 12 Jan 2009 17:01:55 EST news151002115 Using new technologies that make it easier to sequence the human genome, researchers at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a series of genes that become fused when their chromosomes trade places with each other. These recurrent gene fusions are thought to be the driving mechanism that causes certain cancers to develop. http://www.physorg.com/news150904093.html Medicine & Health Sun, 11 Jan 2009 13:48:13 EST news150904093
