 Genome ResearchGene fusion in lung cancer afflicting never-smokers may be target for therapy Smoking is a well-known risk factor for lung cancer, but nearly 25 percent of all lung cancer patients have never smoked. In a study published online today in Genome Research, researchers have identified a previously unknown gene fusion event that could explain a significant proportion of lung cancer cases in never-smokers, and might serve as a target for new therapies.

Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesA major step forward towards drought tolerance in crops When a plant encounters drought, it does its best to cope with this stress by activating a set of protein molecules called receptors. Plant cell biologists at the University of California, Riverside have discovered how to rewire this cellular machinery to heighten the plants' stress response -- a finding that can be used to engineer crops to give them a better shot at surviving and displaying increased yield under drought conditions.

German research team targets 'at risk' data on biodiversity A new German-based project is setting out to rescue biodiversity data at risk of being lost, because they are not integrated in institutional databases, are kept in outdated digital storage systems, or are not properly documented. The project, run by the Botanic Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem, provides a good example for a GBIF recommendation to establish hosting centers for biodiversity data. This is one of a set of data management recommendations just published by GBIF.

NatureResearchers create living 'neon signs' composed of millions of glowing bacteria In an example of life imitating art, biologists and bioengineers at UC San Diego have created a living neon sign composed of millions of bacterial cells that periodically fluoresce in unison like blinking light bulbs. Their achievement was detailed in this week's advance online issue of the journal Nature.

BMC BioinformaticsNew biodiversity data publishing framework proposed A special supplement of BMC Bioinformatics focuses on recommendations by a task group set up by the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, to establish a framework for biodiversity data publishing. Its recommendations include a range of measures designed to increase incentives to share biodiversity data, and to remove remaining barriers obstructing free and open access to such data.

ScienceStudy of skates and sharks questions assumptions about 'essential' genes Biologists have long assumed that all jawed vertebrates possess a full complement of nearly identical genes for critical aspects of their development. But a paper in the December 16 issue of Science with Benjamin King of the Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory as lead author shows that elasmobranchs, a subclass of cartilaginous fishes, lack a cluster of genes, HoxC, formerly thought to be essential for proper development.

How will patients, families and doctors handle the coming flood of personalized genetic data? With advances in technology, one person's entire genome can now be sequenced in a few months for about $4,000. But knowing just what to do with this knowledge has not kept pace with the gusher of genetic data. A four-year, $8.8 million federal grant to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia focuses on how families and pediatricians will understand and use such information.
