Geneticists chip away at unruly data
Article Abstract:
The External RNA Controls Consortium (ERCC), will allow geneticists to reach more accurate conclusions of their experimental methods, and to compare their data with the findings of others. The bulk of genetics research involves characterizing the genes expressed by a particular cell or tissue under specific experimental conditions.

Designs on life
Article Abstract:
Students from around the world competed in a competition, the Intercollegiate Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) event, where their challenge was to build functioning devices out of biological parts. The aim was to encourage biologists to learn something from engineers and vice versa.

Geneticists study chimp-human divergence
Article Abstract:
The study about the differences between the humans and chimps by the geneticists are discussed. This genome comparison may explain why chimps are less resistance to AIDS or Alzheimer's disease, and might lead to treatments for such conditions.
