Searchable. New DNA Sequencing Technology Uses Firefly Enzymes To Read Genetic Cod
Unique technology that uses the enzymes of fireflies to read the genetic code of DNA has been installed at the University of Liverpool. Children Living Near Major Roads At Higher Asthma Risk
Children living close to a major road are significantly more likely to have asthma than children who live farther away, according to a study presented today at the American Thoracic SocietyInternational Conference on May 23 in San Diego. Researchers Find Gene Variants That Greatly Increase Breast Cancer Ris

Mirrorless, interchangeable-lens cameras could change the game for the DSLR, which has been the fastest growing sector of the camera market.
 Intervening In The Deadly Cycle Of HIV Reproduction
Medical researchers have developed a new potential starting point for a drug that could intervene in the deadly cycle of HIV reproduction. When a host cell is infected with HIV, the virus brings its own genetic material into the host cell. This cell then replicates, reads the viral RNA, and uses it as a blueprint to produce more viral proteins. Complete viruses are then released to attack the next cells. TB Medication Helps With Obsessive-compulsive Disorder: Could It Also
Researchers have found that a drug originally developed to fight tuberculosis may help people with obsessive-compulsive disorder make more progress in therapy sessions. Now they want to see if this drug could have a similar effect on people who want to quit smoking. Speaking, Eating Possible After Tonsil Cancer Surgery With Reconstruct
A new technique for reconstructing the palate after surgery for tonsil cancer maintained patients' ability to speak clearly and eat most foods, a new study shows. NASA Orbiter Finds Possible Cave Skylights On Mars
NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft has discovered entrances to seven possible caves on the slopes of a Martian volcano. The find is fueling interest in potential underground habitats and sparking searches for caverns elsewhere on the Red Planet. Very dark, nearly circular features ranging in diameter from about 100 to 250 meters (328 to 820 feet) puzzled researchers who found them in images taken by NASA's Mars Odyssey and Mars Global Surveyor orbiters. Using Mars Odyssey's infrared camera to check the daytime and nighttime temperatures of the circles, scientists concluded that they could be windows into underground spaces.
