The University of Queensland has teamed up with local dengue fever specialists Alere Australia to develop a low-cost diagnostic test for the potentially fatal disease.

The developmental fate of cells was once thought to be determined when they began travelling down the road of differentiation, but research has shown that the identity of adult cells can be manipulated, opening intriguing prospects of using cellular reprogramming for therapeutic purposes.

Evolutionary biology has long focused its attention on protein-coding genes. But it's the vast regulatory networks of RNA - once thought of as "junk DNA" - that are the major driving force behind human evolution.

Australian researchers release initial pancreatic cancer genomes as part of the International Cancer Genome Consortium.

A new test under development could aid in the currently problematic diagnosis of cancers of unknown primary.

IMBcom and PROLOR Biotech enter into technology licence for human growth hormone.

New technology is allowing us to probe the dark matter of the genome, providing further evidence for John Mattick’s no-longer controversial argument that much of the genome, previously thought to be junk DNA, actually codes for a vast network of regulatory RNAs.
