A New Promise for High-Speed Genetic Sequencing

A new promise for high-speed genetic sequencing by threading DNA segments through carbon nanotubes was revealed in Science this week The Human Genome Project was first launched in 1990 by the US government, and a working draft of the genome was issued ten years later. At 1998, a similar venture was launched by Craig Venter and his firm Celera Genomics, who made use of a faster sequencing method to reach an initial working draft in only two years. It’s clear that genetic sequencing technol...

BGU Study finds that Anti-inflammatory Drugs Interfere with Aspirin's Clotting Ability

Researchers from Ben-Gurion University reveal that anti-inflammatory drugs interfere with aspirin's clotting ability, making it near useless for the prevention of heart attacks and strokes in millions of people Oftentimes, we find that certain medications aren’t quite as useful as we imagined they were, or that they have unwanted side effects. This usually occurs with newer drugs, like Merck’s Vioxx, but now Researchers from the Ben-Gurion University reveal that one of the oldest medications ...
