For decades, the biologists have generally accepted the theory which states that the ordinary female mammals come to life with a limited number of eggs, and that there was no chance that the females could ever produce any other eggs during her adult life.
In 2004, a research group at Harvard Medical School nevertheless found that the oocytes in the ovaries of female mice died too fast as to fulfill for the lifetime of the female. Further research output the presence of cells known as female germline stem cells (FGSCs), presumably …

Craig Venter, the well-known DNA researcher, recently surprised the world when showing at stage with Tim O’Reilly at the Web 2.0 Summit.
A geneticist in a Web 2.0 Conference? Apparently, information technology and genetics are positively converging.
According to Moore’s Law, the capacity of computer chips - and related devices - grows exponentially year after year, and has been so since the 1950s. And the trend will probably continue for the coming decades, as was calculated in 2001.
The sequencing of Venter’s DNA cost about 70 million dollars. Currently, the cost has reduced …

Synthetic Biology is an emerging field. Much work still is to be done, but the progress already made points out to an exciting sci pathway.
Whether the applications of the Synth-Bio are conducted towards the production of new pharmaceutical products, or to the manufacturing of specialized biocomponents - that might help to reduce the contamination - it really, really has possibilities.
In a recent research conducted by Dr. Pamela Silver at the Harvard Medical School (HMS) a new milestone was reached.
As every engineer knows, the design must be strongly tested before going …

Craig Venter - the well known DNA researcher committed to the deciphering of human genome - has manufactured a synthetic chromosome from scratch (made of laboratory chemicals), according to a report of The Guardian UK.
The cromosome, which is 381 genes long and contains 580000 base pairs of nucleotides, was built from scratch by a team of 20 top world scientists assembled by Dr. Venter and led by the Noble laureate Hamilton Smith.
Venter has stated that he’s soon to announce the creation of the first new artificial form of life on …
