Genetic packing: Successful stem cell differentiation requires DNA compaction, study finds
Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining of sections of wild-type (top row) and H1 triple-knockout (bottom row) embryoid bodies. After 14 days in rotary suspension culture, the wild-type embryoid bodies showed more differentiated morphologies with cysts forming (black arrows) and the knockout embryoid bodies failed to form cavities (far right). (Credit: Yuhong Fan) (Phys.org) — New research findings show that embryonic stem cells unable to fully compact the DNA inside them cannot complete their primary task: differentiation into specific cell types that give rise to the various types of tissues and structures in the body Continue reading

State's seed diversity is under threat, say activists
The Southern Action on Genetic Engineering (SAGE)-Karnataka, which undertook a jatha to highlight the threat to farmers’ seeds by corporate seed companies, will conclude its awareness campaign by holding a State-level Seed Savers’ convention in Bangalore on May 20 and 21. The two-day convention, which will be held at the NGO Hall, Cubbon Park, will hold deliberations on the threat to Karnataka’s seed sovereignty and highlight the State’s seed diversity. Representative of SAGE-Karnataka V Continue reading

Now *This* Is a Cell Phone: Using Radio Waves to Control Specific Genes in Mice | 80beats
With some clever genetic engineering but without ever touching a cell or an animal, scientist can remotely control cells using ultrasound, light,and, now, also radio waves. The electromagnetic waves can be used to selectivelyheat up parts of cells and activate a gene to make insulin in mice, according to a recent study published in Science. Continue reading

Not all tumor cells are equal: Huge genetic diversity found in cells shed by tumors
ScienceDaily (May 7, 2012) The cells that slough off from a cancerous tumor into the bloodstream are a genetically diverse bunch, Stanford University School of Medicine researchers have found. Some have genes turned on that give them the potential to lodge themselves in new places, helping a cancer spread between organs. Others have completely different patterns of gene expression and might be more benign, or less likely to survive in a new tissue. Continue reading

Human iPS cells accrue genetic changes at about the same rate as replicating cells
A team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the National Human Genome Research Institute has evaluated the whole genomic sequence of stem cells derived from human bone marrow cellsso-called induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cellsand found that relatively few genetic changes occur during stem cell conversion by an improved method. The findings, reported in the March issue of Cell Stem Cell, the official journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR), will be presented at the annual ISSCR meeting in June.

Bioeconomy Plans
The Obama administration is to unveil its National Bioeconomy Blueprint plan today, reports The New York Times. “The growth of today’s US bioeconomy is due in large part to the development of three foundational technologies: genetic engineering, DNA sequencing, and automated high-throughput manipulations of biomolecules,” the report notes, adding that “tomorrow’s bioeconomy relies on the expansion of emerging technologies such as synthetic biology (the direct engineering of microbes and plants), proteomics (the large-scale study and manipulation of proteins in an organism), and bioinformatics (computational tools for expanding the use of biological and related data), as well as new technologies as yet unimagined.” The report adds that such technologies appear to be moving toward advances in health, bioenergy, biomanufacturing, and environmental clean-up.
