    HDIs and oncology’s great hope 10/12/2008 10:30:00

    Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs) have emerged as oncology’s Great Hope – rarely has a new class of drugs showed promise against such a broad range of cancers, including leukaemias, lymphomas and solid tumours.

    Junk no more - RNAs get networking 26/06/2009 15:28:00

    New technology is allowing us to probe the dark matter of the genome, providing further evidence that 'junk DNA' actually codes for a vast network of regulatory RNAs.
    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.

    Sequencing most fowl: a poultry challenge 13/06/2008 15:34:00

    Deciphering vertebrate development, sorting out the roosters from the hens and taking on bird flu – dare we say, all in one fowl swoop – that is the job of CSIRO’s Dr Mark Tizard, who has created a new microRNA catalogue for the humble chook.

    Preventing transgene escape with RNAi 13/06/2008 15:37:00

    Rightly or wrongly, concerns over GM crops contaminating their non-GM kin have led to a stalemate in progress towards acceptance of GM crops and foods. We look at a new approach using gene silencing and gene imprinting.
