Study Identifies Genetic Variation In Tuberculosis Strains
A TIGR comparison of the whole genomes of two strains of the bacterium that causes tuberculosis has found a surprising number of differences, indicating that genetic variation may be more extensive among Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates than previously thought, and may play an important role in the development of the disease and of human immunity to it.
TIGR Offers Genomics Course
TIGR's genomics course for educators, which is designed to give high school biology teachers a thorough understanding of genomics, will be offered on Saturdays this fall, starting on October 19th.
Sequence Provides Insights Into An Emerging Pathogen's Virulence Mechanism, Allowing for Vaccine Development
An analysis of the whole genome sequence of Streptococcus agalactiae serotype V provides valuable insights into the virulence mechanism of the pathogen, which is a leading cause of pneumonia and meningitis in newborns and the source of life-threatening illnesses in a growing number of adults with deficient immune systems.
TIGR, IBEA, and TCAG to Create New High-Throughput Genomic Sequencing Facility
Center will be test bed for latest DNA sequencing and computing technology
Human sequencing to be conducted to better understand genetic variation
Mapping the Mouse Genome
An international research consortium that includes TIGR has published a comprehensive physical map of the mouse genome that provides an important resource for biomedical researchers. The TIGR team, led by Shaying Zhao, sequenced the BAC ends of the mouse genome.
