New computer program developed by TGen lights up cancer-causing genetic mutations

By conjuring the spell "Lumos!" wizards in the mythical world of Harry Potter could light up the tip of their magic wands and illuminate their surroundings. So, too, does LumosVar, a computer program developed by the Translational Genomics Research Institute, "light up" cancer-causing genetic Var-ients, or mutations, illuminating how physicians might best treat their patients.

UIC scientists identify hidden proteins in bacteria

Scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago have developed a way to identify the beginning of every gene -- known as a translation start site or a start codon -- in bacterial cell DNA with a single experiment and, through this method, they have shown that an individual gene is capable of coding for more than one protein.

Evidence of magnetoreception in humans suggests subconscious ability to respond to Earth’s magnetic field

A study carried out by geoscientists and neurobiologists at Caltech and the University of Tokyo has shown that the human brain responds to changes in the Earth’s magnetic fields on a subconscious level. This may show that humans still possess a natural “compass” that helped nomadic ancestors to navigate the Earth.
