Gene Function Discovery: Guilt by Association

By Carnegie HQ
Palo Alto, CA—Scientists have created a new computational model that can be used to predict gene function of uncharacterized plant genes with unprecedented speed and accuracy. The network, dubbed AraNet, has over 19,600 genes associated to each ...

Antagonistic genes control rice growth

By Carnegie HQ
Palo Alto, CA —Scientists at the Carnegie Institution, with colleagues,* have found that a plant steroid prompts two genes to battle each other—one suppresses the other to ensure that leaves grow normally in rice and the experimental plant ...

Season’s Greetings from Carnegie

By Carnegie HQ
This image was selected as our holiday card for 2009. It is a portion of AraNet, a gene association network built from over 50 million data points of functional genomics data from the experimental mustard plant Arabidopsis . Each line represents a ...

“Safety Valve” Protects Photosynthesis from Too Much Light

By Carnegie HQ
Photosynthetic organisms need to cope with a wide range of light intensities, which can change over timescales of seconds to minutes. Too much light can damage the photosynthetic machinery and cause cell death. Scientists at the Carnegie Institution ...

Carnegie donates landmark clones to biology

By Carnegie HQ
Palo Alto, CA —With the information explosion, it’s remarkable that so little is known about the interactions that proteins have with each other and the protective membrane that surrounds a cell. These interactive, so-called membrane proteins ...

Plants Put Limit on Ice Ages

By admin
Palo Alto, CA — When glaciers advanced over much of the Earth’s surface during the last ice age, what kept the planet from freezing over entirely? This has been a puzzle to climate scientists because leading models have indicated that over the past ...

Advance in understanding cellulose synthesis

By Carnegie HQ
Palo Alto , CA —Cellulose is a fibrous molecule that makes up plant cell walls, gives plants shape and form and is a target of renewable, plant-based biofuels research. But how it forms, and thus how it can be modified to design energy-rich crops, ...
